TIME MANAGEMENT
(PART 1)

Introduction/Definition

The most common ignition to a failed plan or missed opportunity is poor timing (lack of proper time management).
Time Management refers to the process of arranging a proper and organized schedule that breaks down your time between specified activities.

To be successful and gain effectiveness in production, you must learn how to adequately manage your time. In as much as everyone is bent on earning money and becoming established, we all need to engrave the wordings from Matthew 6:33

King James Bible App

We all must make that time to acknowledge God in all our endeavors, so as to boost the effectiveness of our productivity.

Warning For The Foolish

Drawing from Ephesians 5:15-16

King James Bible App

When carefully read, we can deduce that these verse appear to sound more like a warning than an advice. We are told not to live a foolish/wayward lifestyle, and try to practice the act of being sensible. Most often, people disregard this and compare their situations to others. Since they didn't see consequences allocated to the mistakes committed by friends, they think the grace of God rests equally on everyone; they lie! Every action experiences a reaction eventually, somewhere, somehow, and at some point in time. Reading verse 16, we see that we live in a very bad society which we need not be told or reminded because we all can attest to that. As such, our foolish mistakes can never go unnoticed, no matter what you think and tell yourself.

Be Wise/Sensible At All Times

For reference, i shall be drawing from Colossians 4:5

King James Bible App

Practicing the act of being wise/sensible shouldn't be limited only around familiar faces and environments, be wise at all times. Note that an opportunity can present itself only in the outburst of a crisis. Whenever you find yourself in the midst of a crisis, be it generalized or personalized, count yourself lucky and seize the chance to prove your relevance! If there is no crisis/problem, there will be no room for a solution/opportunity.

Seek For Wisdom

There are so many ways via which someone can seek for, and invite the habit of being wise.

• Asking God for wisdom:
  I would very much like to draw reference from James 1:5.
  
  King James Bible App
  It is encouraged to ask God for wisdom. How many of us ask for wisdom daily? Or weekly? Or even monthly? Stop kidding yourself with false doctrines, o to your bibles and feed your soul with what is right. Stop being vulnerable always, add substance to your worth. Planning without God is aimless! Ask of him and he will answer, as long as you uphold his words.

• Having an updated schedule:
  Having a schedule which is up to date, is an act of inviting wisdom into your life. do your best to be focus and diligent, create and recreate, until you deem it fit to run your activities. Be creative, be active, be optimistic and do not relent!
  A perfect verse to read would be Psalms 90:12
  
  King James Bible App

• Learning from others:
  Learn to listen more and talk less, reflect on your decisions and acknowledge your pride. Pride destroys massively, and humility gives rise to wise men. To be humble is not foolishness, to be observant is not an act of shyness. To be able to learn at a rapid rate, you must first start by telling yourself that you know nothing. The mind is a powerful thing, it can't be fooled, although it compromises when made to. Don't embrace foolishness, make wise decisions!

We have come to the end of the first phase (Part 1) of this wonderful lesson. Here is the second phase (Part 2 / Episode 02) of this lesson on The Gospel Season
If you missed the Introductory episode (episode 00), you can always use the link which was made available at the beginning of this lesson.

We must practice the act of humility, if we wish to excel in life. To become a good master, one must first learn how to serve the people right!

^{Please let me know what you think about this episode, and your take on it from your point of view. Also feel free to suggest verses that you would like to see being deliberated on someday.}

THANK Y'ALL FOR STOPPING BY. PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN SOONEST!
