Make an Appointment with Yourself
Sydney is a very fast city, the pace is fast, the cars are fast (at least at 3am when the traffic is sparse), we work fast. Even in a church setting where there are no sales targets and no quarterly profit reports there are deadlines.
So something I am going to do after reading a blog entry at Fast 1buy generic cialis Company Now
is make an appointment with myself.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 11:30, my calendar had an unmovable meeting. It lasted only half an hour but my assistant knew that on no account could it be changed or cancelled. And so, three days a week, at 11:30, I’d walk out the door; I’d be back at noon.
…I held this all-important appointment for myself. It was my thinking time. I had finally reached the conclusion that, if I didn’t book time to think, I’d never do it.
After probably ten years looking for a time management system that works for me (PDA’s didn’t, Daytimer didn’t) I finally found one (yay!). And I find that if I take the time to really prepare at the beginning of the day I get SO much more done, and forget less.
Henceforth and forthwith I do decree an appointment with myself once a week, until further notice.
Wow! I feel like a professional giant now. I’ve always tried to keep a time for myself at least twice a week that is non negotiable. It isn’t always at the same time, but it is there. I should have written an article for Fast Company
Of course, I am more of a random thinker, so I need that extra time 
Great advice for all of us in ministry.
What about an appointment time with God? I find if I don’t set it apart, I never do it, either.
Nice, appointments with God.. someones gonna use that as a book title for sure.
