TOPIC: THE COMPASS OR THE CLOCK
BASIC SCRIPTURE: COLLOSSIANS 4:5, EPHESIANS 5:15-21
If you have always carefully studied the life of great men, one thing is common to them all: TIME MANAGEMENT. Your greatest possession is your next 24 hours. How will you spend them?

Wise people INVEST their time, while unwise people SPEND their time! Will you allow television, pointless emails, unimportant tasks, your own impulses, the wrong people or other meaningless distractions to consume your day (WASTE OR SPEND YOUR TIME)? Or will you take control of your time and make today count (INVEST YOUR TIME)?
Leadership experts say that focusing on your top 20% of your priority brings an 80% return on your effort. So when you get up each morning, look in the mirror and say, “today, I will live my life according to God’s will, and give my energy to the things that helps me fulfill it”. The truth is, there will always be things “crying” for your attention. And I don’t think it should be new to you how people with nothing to do, usually want to spend their time with you!

The wise man asked this: “what comes first, the compass or the clock? Before one can truly manage time, (the clock), it is important to know where you are going, what your priorities and goals are, in which direction you are headed (the compass). Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important”.

Indeed, there are many URGENT but UNIMPORTANT things daily! Kick them out and stop reacting or panicking about every actions! That is why you need to focus like a laser on your God-given purpose! You priorities determine how you spend your time! How you spend your time determined how you spend your day! How you spend your day determines how you spend your life! So, set your priorities prayerful and maintain them carefully.
Success comes from doing the right things right and letting the rest go! If you are not sure what the right things are for you, imagine yourself looking back on your life years from now: which things would you regret not doing? Eliminate non-essentials! ROOT OUT TIME WASTERS! Manage and start investing your time today! ODM Daily For Today 17 April 2018
