So far we have talked about our evaluating our plate and priorities, as well as the seasons of life, but for this post I want to touch on something very tangible. Take a moment and grab or pull up your personal calendar. If your response is, I don’t have one, then that is the first major problem. A calendar serves two incredible purposes.
1. He keeps things organized so you are not just taking things as they come. Those that fail to plan, plan to fail. Your schedule should have everything important on it.
2. A well kept calendar has the ability for you to look at it as a whole so you can see where you are spending most of your time and thus living out your priorities. It can be great for accountability!
I keep my calendar on my computer in a program called iCal (made by apple) which stays synced on all of my digital devices and even on my wife’s phone. We live by our calendar which has everything work related and personal on it. When I was disciplining myself to live by a calendar I would even go as far as putting my wake up time and bed time on it. It forced me to stick to my plan versus life dictating what I was going to do. There are lots of digital as well as print options out there.
Side Note – The resources are available to those who really want to grow in these areas. Hold yourself accountable and start today!
