Schedules

Time is a very precious resource and God has appointed us as His stewards of the 24hrs that He gives us daily. Every time I think of schedule, I am reminded of Joyce Meyers words," Schedule your schedule around God and not schedule God around your schedule!" Honestly, I am still learning how to do that on a daily basis but I believe I can do it!

Been very busy these few weeks, know that my dear friends would probably scream in disgruntlement that its not only these few weeks but months.

My Schedule: Tues to Thurs - meetings & preparation for meetings, Fri - chill out day, fellowship, outreach or prayer day, Sat - family, time alone day, word studying, biz, events or catching up with friends, Sunday - Church and keyboard & guitar classes.

Occasionally I will go on solo trips to some art haunts during weekends. Love art galleries thou I dunno much about the history or the different styles of painting. Just to behold the way the artist bends the different colors, contours, outlines and guessing what the artist was trying to express at that time is a delight! "What were the artist's thoughts and feelings when he/she were painting it?" Simply by admiring the ingenuity of the artist in puting everything together can inspire me tremendously. It's true that a picture can truly say a thousand words....Occasionally, I will also arrange ktv sessions on weekends with friends just to let out all the pent up emotions. It's therapy really, my friends know that when I am not feeling good, a session of singing has an immediate effect of perking me up. I am also trying to set aside time to exercise more!

Monday is practically the only day I am free and I am contemplating taking up other things on that day. Hmmm still contemplating... So many things I wana do and so little time in a week: kickboxing, salsa, golf, horse riding, drums and the list goes on. I ve also just expressed interest in joining a song composing group where they will get together and perform the songs they composed and give their takes on the songs being showcased. I believe I will be inspired to compose better quality songs by joining this group and finding liked minded people.

There are so many things I want to do coz I have only one life! But truth is I can't do all of the things I would want to do now coz of the time and money constraint. However, STEP BY STEP, LITTLE BY LITTLE I will accomplish all!

Yes, in the midst of my busyness, I make sure I plan and evaluate my week and month to make sure I am on track as to where I want to go. One can be busy but at the end of the day achieve nothing, yet if one knows where she wants to go and where she is at, then she is investing her time on the "right" things and busy for "productive" reasons. Well, I think my busyness is really good investment nowadays coz I know where I am and where I am headed for and I try to make sure I am inching closer and closer to that destination! :)

Was browsing at MPH and found this book, Start late end rich by James Bach and came across this heading: Sprint or Marathon? I am definitely in it for the long haul and I am starting slowly bit by bit for the marathon!

How are you using your time? Are you doing a sprint or marathon?
