Day 47
Last Friday, I was in class all day to get my 8 hours of class room continuing education. I know every year that I must do this and yet I still wait until the last minute to take care of it. It just always seems to come at a time when I’m busy and the good classes are offered in the later part of the year anyway. Yes, I procrastinate. This year the class was partially about good time management, one of my many weaknesses. It’s something that I struggle with and never seem to master.
Time management is important, whether it pertains to business or personal life. I always hear people make comments about not having enough time or trying to ‘buy’ a little more time or as Mamaw would say, “Time’s a wasting!” We know we can’t buy time. If we could, imagine how expensive it would be. The demand is far greater than the supply. So all we can do is manage it better. But first I think we have to realize what a precious gift it is. Each day when we wake up and our feet hit the floor, we’re off and running. We each have the same number of minutes in the day. But isn’t it amazing how much more some people can do with it than others? For me, I think that if I give more thought to the value of each day and how that day can never, ever be replaced, I will honor it more and protect each minute more carefully from things that are useless and unproductive. Our Heavenly Father is a God of order and discipline. It’s evident from the very first chapter of scripture. God created the heavens and earth in an orderly and timely fashion. He values our life and our time. How much more so should I?
