I can’t encourage you enough to check out the excellent series on time management by C.J. Mahaney, starting with Are You Busy?. The whole series is good, but I especially liked this one, where he includes an excerpt from R.C. Sproul: Time. Redeemed. Also extremely good (as well as practical!) was the one posted yesterday on Roles, Calling and Theology of Work.
I resemble his remarks. Very busy, but very busy in an out-of-control way. Doing “just one more thing” on a project, being overly perfectionistic about things that do not call for it, procrastinating until last what should have been done first, then being consistently late with deadlines. Add to that a prideful over-confidence that bites off more than it can chew… yeah – you get the picture.
Before the Lord, I think the only thing in the swamp of my heart that raises an uglier head is Lack Of Love – an exceedingly ugly face and a fearful state in which to find myself.
