How many time management seminars have you attended? Have they helped your personal effectiveness? Are you frustrated because everyone continue to demand your presence-your spouse, partner, children, boss, pastor? Will it ever end? Maybe not, but don't despair, each person has the same challenge to different degrees. We can't do everything we want done and others want us to do each day. The 24-hour day is fixed for each of us. However, some folks have access to resources that allow them to outsource some daily activities and they can do more in that 24-hour day. Michel's book, Managing God's Time: Personal Effectiveness Improvement, presents biblical principles, tips, tools, techniques, to help us set priorities and handle daily challenges in each 24 hours. It stresses the obvious: time management is impossible. You can't manage time, but you can manage your personal effectiveness, such as how you set and carry out priorities. To turn away from time management ideas and improve your personal effectiveness, remove these useless phrases, among others, and their harmful effects from your vocabulary and your life: * I am too busy ... * I don't have enough time ... * I don't have enough money ... * I can't do this ... * I wish I were like ... * I can't work within a budget ...
