In managing our time, we not only need to be efficient, but effective as well. Being efficient means using your time accordingly to do the right thing. It means, don’t waste your time. Being effective means doing an activity that has an intended or expected outcome. We are being productive. At the end of the day, we should be able to see the results of the time spent doing any activity. I have heard people say often, “I don’t know what I did today”. It means the person was not intentional in spending his or her time. When we wake up in the morning, we need to have a plan or a to do list. Then submit it to God. Remember this, if you have no plan, then you will accomplish nothing. Be effective. Be productive today.
