4.  1: Assume Responsibility. The first key is
assuming responsibility for your use of time. The
Bible challenges us to redeem the time, which means
to make the most of the time God has given us.
Choose to take charge of your time to the best of your
ability. If you don't manage your time, somebody
else will.

5.  2: Seek God's Guidance. Recognize that God has
ordained for you a series of good works to
accomplish. "We are His workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them".

6.  3. Plan Your Schedule. Months can go by without
your making any progress toward the fulfillment of
your God-given goals if you don't plan your schedule
and set your goals and dreams into the context of
deadlines.

7.  4: Stay Organized. Continually searching for
missing documents or items is a waste of time. Stay
organized as you work. Throughout the Bible, we
find numerous references about doing things and
maintaining things in an orderly fashion. as an
example.) Recognize that your definition of being
organized may be different from that of others.

8.  5.Rely on God's Wisdom. If you question the
timing of anything in your life - when something
should be done, how much time should be allotted to
something, how often something should be done, the
sequencing of a project - ask the Lord for His wisdom
on the matter. As you plan projects or break down
large goals into specific tasks, ask the Lord, "Am I
sequencing activities, events, or tasks in the right
order? Am I allotting the appropriate amount of time
for each facet of this project or task or event? Have I
set the right deadlines?"

9.  6: Eliminate the Unimportant. Charles Schwab,
the president of Bethlehem Steel, hired a consultant
and said to him. "If you'll show me how I and other
top managers in our company can use our time
better, I will pay you a fee of whatever you ask within
reason

10.  7: Review Your Day. At the close of a day, review
the way in which you have spent your time. Evaluate
your schedule. Compare what you did with what you
intended to do. Ask yourself: Did I make good use of
my time? Did I procrastinate? Was I able to maintain
my concentration? Did I engage in activities that
truly were priorities? Did I make progress (even a
little) toward the accomplishment of my God-given
goals?
