Eight Weeks Ahead: Calendar
by Michael Potter · 6 things on Twos
- "I have learned the hard way that the principal elements of my time budget have to be in the calendar eight weeks in advance of the date. Eight weeks!
- If this is August, then I am already beginning to think through October.
- And what goes into the calendar?
- Those non-negotiable aspects of my private world: my spiritual disciplines, my mental disciplines, my sabbath rest, and of course my commitments to family and special friendships.
- Then a second tier of priorities will enter the calendar: the schedule of the main work to which I am committed—sermon study, writing, leadership development, and discipling.
