There is a time for
everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Introduction
The
subject of time management is very popular in business training and yet it is
something of a misnomer as time itself cannot really be managed in the same way
as the other resources that we have at our disposal.
Each
one of us has the same time available to us. There are 7 days in a week, 24
hours in a day and 3600 seconds in an hour. What we can do is manage ourselves
so that we can achieve the goals we have set within the required time. But most
business people want to manage their time not so that they can have more free
time but so that they can fit even more activity into their already busy day.
As
Christians it’s important to remember that our time is in God’s hands (Psalm 31
v15), that all our days were written in his book before one of them came to be
(Psalm 139 v 16) and that as we number our days aright we will gain wisdom
(Psalm 90 v12).
