· Delegate tasks to others. Jethro urged Moses to delegate some of his responsibilities to others (Exodus 18). Jesus sent his disciples out to preach and heal (Mark 6, Luke 9). The Twelve delegated responsibility to seven more (Acts 6).
· Always carry something with you to do. You may get caught in traffic; someone may be delayed for an appointment with you, and so forth.
· Ask people to pray for you related to your use of time.
· Have an accountability partner hold you responsible for your use of time.
· Get help from someone who is naturally gifted at planning and organizing.
· Learn how to multitask; do several things at once.
· Save time by organizing things other than time.
· Develop an organizational system for paper (mail, books, files, etc.).
· Order your financial records and budget.
· Organize your physical space so you do not waste time looking for things.
Good stewardship of time involves budgeting time, just as you would money. Everyone has exactly the same amount of time each day, therefore, you have to decide how much total time you have available and what percent of it you will spend on each priority.
