It is too easy to waste precious time.  Often we sit and click around the web, check our emails or watch too much television.  We are a distracted people. And since many of our readers are pastors and students, it is that much more important that we redeem the time.  I have been interested in productivity for several years – being more of an aspirant than a practitioner.  Regardless, over the next few weeks I plan to share a few tips for the productivity-challenged.
The first step in redeeming the time and becoming more productive is to understand exactly how you currently spend your time. Â Back in September, Lifehacker, a great site that shares all sorts of tips and tricks, shared a list of the top time tracking applications. Â Scan the list and consider if you can use one of these tools to get a handle on where your time actually goes.
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
