What’s in it for me? Discover the power of faith-based time management.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly racing against the clock, trying to squeeze every last drop of productivity out of your day? Or maybe you're struggling to figure out what really matters in life and how to focus your energy on those things? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many of us grapple with these questions as we strive to make the most of our limited time here on earth. For Christians, these questions can take on even greater significance, as we seek to align our lives with God's will and purpose.

In this blink, we'll be diving into the big picture of how to prioritize our time and efforts, learning from the wisdom of influential people and powerful stories. Along the way, we’ll take a look at inspiring individuals like Tamika Catchings and Jesus Christ, both of whom were incredibly purposeful with their time. By the end, you'll have a better understanding of what truly matters, and how to best utilize your time to make a real difference in the world, and glorify God.

The eternal significance of unfinished work

Have you ever wondered why it feels like there’s never enough time to complete everything we set out to do? Why, despite our best efforts, there's always something left unfinished?

The truth is that when sin entered the world – and brought mortality with it – it became impossible for us to finish everything we want to do in our lifetime. Even the most influential people, like William Wilberforce – who nearly ended slavery – felt like they didn't do enough.

This might sound like a downer, but it's actually a reminder that we need to find hope beyond what this world can offer. To paraphrase author Eric Metaxas, we all have a desire to transcend time and accomplish more than this world allows, suggesting we were made for a different, timeless story.

That's where the Christian narrative comes in. Our work on earth may seem unfinished, but it's part of a bigger plan, and God can deliver eternal results from our time-bound efforts.

So, what does this mean for us? First, we need to prioritize the things that truly matter in life, focusing on our values and beliefs. Second, we can find comfort knowing our work here has eternal significance – even if we don't see the full results.

Take tech genius Steve Jobs, for example. He felt like he didn't accomplish everything he wanted to, but his inventions continue to impact the world today, long after his death. Although it's hard to accept, we will all die with unfinished symphonies. But let's focus on what truly matters and trust that our efforts have lasting impact.

Along the way, it’s also important to approach life with a sense of hope. Jesus Christ's resurrection gives us hope for eternal life. This hope helps us make sense of time and our purpose in it. God created us to live and work with Him in a perfect garden, but sin messed everything up. Jesus' defeat of death proved He's the promised King, and now we're invited to co-labor with God to build His eternal kingdom. As "God's fellow workers," our work today is a means of glorifying God and loving our neighbors.

So, what can we do with this knowledge? First, recognize that our work has eternal significance and prioritize efforts towards building God's kingdom. Second, find comfort knowing God will complete the work we leave unfinished, if it aligns with His will.

Think about William Wilberforce again. He fought against slavery and brought us closer to God's kingdom, even though he had unfinished ambitions. God used his work to continue building His kingdom, just as He will do with ours.

Mastering unfinished tasks and stress

You know that feeling when you can't get a song out of your head? It's like your brain is stuck on repeat. Well, there's a scientific explanation for this called the Zeigarnik effect. This effect tells us that unfinished tasks tend to pop up in our minds over and over again, causing distractions and stress. But don't worry, with some faith and the right tools, you can cope with this problem and find peace in your tasks.

The key to tackling stress and anxiety caused by open loops and unfinished tasks is to get everything out of your head and into a trusted system, like a to-do list or a calendar. For example, let's say you're planning a birthday party for a friend. Instead of trying to remember everything, jot down each task and create a plan for every item. Studies show that people who write down their future tasks are more focused and productive than those who don't. This is because the simple act of planning clears your mind and makes you feel more relaxed.

Finding stillness in a noisy world

Do you find it hard to create quiet moments in your busy life? You know, those precious times when you can just sit back, relax, and let your thoughts wander? Well, you're not alone in this quest for tranquility. In fact, some of the most influential people in history have struggled to carve out time for stillness and reflection.

External information and entertainment can really mess with our ability to be creative and focused. Just consider writers like Aaron Sorkin or C.S. Lewis – without some boredom, which often requires silence, they might never have pursued their creative passions. And let's face it, in today's world, boredom is a rare commodity.

Unlocking the secrets of time management

Do you often wonder how some people manage to achieve so much, while you struggle with basic daily tasks? What's their secret sauce?

For many of us, it's not easy to stay focused on what truly matters. But with a little guidance, we can learn how to make the most of our precious time.

The power of rest

Do you ever believe that you've got to hustle non-stop to be successful? Like you need to push through the exhaustion to get ahead? Well, contrary to popular belief, the secret to getting more done isn't working harder. In fact, it's actually the complete opposite!

This is why it’s essential to embrace the power of rest. In fact, our bodies have built-in rhythms of productive rest. Take photography entrepreneur Shay Cochrane, for example. She was struggling to find a comprehensive plan to solve the problems she had identified with her business. One night, she woke up at three o’clock with her mind racing, and all of the issues that had been weighing on her suddenly came together. She furiously wrote down her thoughts and ended up with a complete strategy to solve nearly all of her company's problems. Thirty minutes and three pages later, she went back to bed and fell asleep. When her team executed the strategy the following month, the company's growth rate increased by 700 percent.

Final Summary

It’s important to recognize your limitations and prioritize your time for a purposeful life. We all have unfinished symphonies, so it’s best to concentrate on efforts with eternal significance. Make use of the Zeigarnik effect and apply strategies like GTD and OmniFocus to effectively manage tasks and commitments. It’s essential to create moments of silence and reflection, to identify what’s genuinely important and avoid being overwhelmed by trivial matters.

Remember to seek out finite sources of content to reduce noise and create an environment conducive to focused thinking. By looking to figures such as Tamika Catchings and Jesus Christ for inspiration, you can set ambitious goals and focus on what truly matters. By learning from these examples and incorporating practical habits, you'll be able to maximize your time, contribute to building God's eternal kingdom, and trust that He will complete the work left unfinished.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
