Managing Your Minutes Matters! ⏰

Time is our most valuable and most limited resource. We all wish we had more of it, but yet we’re all given 24 hours in a day. And that’s not changing, so all we can do is make the most of the minutes and moments that we do have. Time is a gift from God to be treasured, so using it wisely is glorifying Him!

My first time-management tip is to create a time log of your day. 📝 Because in order to better manage our time, we have to know where our time is currently being spent and how that needs to change. You see, you might think you only spend 10 minutes getting ready every morning, but if you actually pay attention to every minute, then you might realize that it takes you 30 minutes. 😬

That’s why it’s so important to keep a truthful and accurate time log, tracking every minute of your day. I recommend picking 3 days to do this with throughout the course of week. But even just starting with one day can be a tremendous wake-up call and a great place to start. The key is to be honest! ☝️

You can use just a lined notebook or draw or print of a simple log with one column for start and end time and a wider column for the activity or task. Remember, every minute matters! You can calculate the number of minutes on each line for the different tasks at the end of the day when you look at it.

Track everything! Driving time, scrolling on your phone, eating meals, doing dishes, getting ready for bed, showering, cleaning up…allll the things! Yes it’s tedious, but it’s so worth it to improve your time management and make sure every minute matters! 👍
