Time Management

I am writing a post on time management, well, because I have none.

I cannot manage my time. I spend too much time on things that do not matter, and not enough time on things that do.

And boy, have I suffered the consequences.

In my life, church, school, friends, family.

Yet, for 19 years, I have been unable to learn from my mistakes and fix my time management issue. (I am 19 not like really old )

This past summer, however, I did try to look up some techniques on time management. Techniques, that I have yet to encorporate into my life, the past 2-3 weeks of school.

Since those ways did not work, I decided to put myself on blast, proclaiming one of my weaknesses to the world, and going to the Word of God to see what He says about time management. I know that I am not the only person who suffers from this issues. Lots of people suffer from this same predicament. The thing is, though, I do not want to forever be plagued with it. Because I wan to spend eternity with a person I love (Jesus) and I do not want to ruin my chances by not spending enough time with Him now.

But now, to the Word.

Behave yourselves wisely [living prudently and with discretion] in your relations with those of the outside world (the non-Christians), making the very most of the time and seizing (buying up) the opportunity.

Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you].

Col 4:5-6 AMP

Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.

Eph 5:15-16 AMP

“Let me know my end, LORD.
How many days do I have left?
I want to know how brief my time is.”
You’ve made my days so short;
my lifetime is like nothing in your eyes.
Yes, a human life
is nothing but a puff of air!

Ps 39:4-5 CEB

You should know better than to say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to the city. We will do business there for a year and make a lot of money!” What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears. You should say, “If the Lord lets us live, we will do these things.”

James 4:13-15

Till we meet again
