I have been reminded by a fellow blogger that I have not said anything about my book for quite some time. Here is a devotion from Times of Times of Trouble Bring Rays of Joy
Teach Us to Number Our Days

“So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
Psalm 90:12
Moses prayed this as part of a prayer in the book of Psalms. He asked God to instruct him and his people to order their days. We also need to learn to do this. Moses stated the reason for prioritizing their daily activities—so they could learn and become wise people.
In our twenty-first century world, many activities call out to us, usurping our time. Just watching television can cause us to waste time. Our time spent on the computer can also take a chunk of the day. I try to practice moderation in these activities. From time to time, I create a chart—a timetable to help me gain ground in this uphill struggle to manage time.
For Your Thoughts:
1. List three things you can do this week to help you better manage your time.
2. How can you manage time to establish better habits?
If you leave a comment about your struggles with time management in the area below, I will enter your name into a drawing for a chance to win a free copy of my book. All I ask in return is that you post a review of it on your blog and on Amazon. This giveaway has to be limited to the United States. It will be open for one week, until Tuesday, April 10th.
We are having a season of rain here in central Indiana. Hubby told me we would have this ‘liquid sunshine’ for a whole week. We have to remember that April showers bring May flowers.
Yikes...3 things I can do this week to help me better manage my time: 1. Don't spend as much time on the computer 2. Try to do some kind of house-cleaning project each day (beyond the normal routine) 3. Prioritize what is most necessary each day and organize my time accordingly.
ReplyDelete2. How can you manage time to establish better habits? Pray first, and ask God to help me order my day. Try to do the priority list for each day...keep a check list and work at it within reason. Being retired sometimes causes us to not have a good routine, and it is too easy to get off track. On the other hand, it is good to be flexible, because sometimes things come up that are urgent, and the "routine" can be set aside.
Pam: What you said here is advice I need to incorporate into my daily routine. This has turned out to be a busy week for me. Plans changed for today (Wed.). Which means Friday will be busier, and Saturday could be also.
DeleteHi Cecelia - thanks for your visit ... April showers bring May flowers ... in fact our flowers are enjoying the extra light, yet have slow growth due to the still cold weather - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary: What does April snow bring? (LOL)
