Psalm 39:4-6 (NIV) 4 “Show me, LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. 5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure. 6 “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.

1) The PresentYesterday is History
Tomorrow’s a Mystery
But Today is a Gift
That’s Why They Call it
The Present

TIME- is a non renewable resource
Once it is gone, it is gone.You will never see this moment again
![Page 7: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is your “LQ”?
Sometimes we just don’t realize how much time we spent in non productive ways.
Here are some examples of leisure: Visiting between classes Listening to music Checking Facebook Watching Youtube QQ, Messenger Watching tv Playing games Daydreaming
Leisure Quotient?
What others can you think of?

Finding your LQFor the next week, keep a close record
each day of how much time you spend on leisure activities.
Divide this number by 960* minutes to get your “LQ”.*960 minutes equals 16 waking
hours per day.Leisure activities are important to
help you recharge, but too much can be detrimental.

2) Eighty six thousand four hundredPicture this:
Each day your bank deposits $86,400 in your checking account.
There’s just one catch. You have to spend it all in one day.
You can’t carry over any money to the next day

What would you do?Duh! You would spend it ALL, right?!

3) Am I working my “A’s” off?In any list of tasks, 80% of the importance lies in 20% of the list.
![Page 16: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Do you have the C-fever?Have you ever noticed?
That the videos must be alphabetized before you can settle in to review for a test.
That rumpled pile of clothes left in the corner since Thursday night just has to get folded and put away before you can start that English essay.
If so, you may be suffering from “C” Fever

Is The Jar Full?
![Page 20: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I attended a seminar once where the instructor was lecturing on time. At one point, he said, "Okay, time for a quiz." He reached under the table and pulled out a wide-mouthed gallon jar. He set it on the table next to a platter with some fist-sized rocks on it. "How many of these rocks do you think we can get in the jar?" he asked.
Stephen Covey in his book, First Things First, shares the following story experienced by one of his associates:
![Page 21: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
After we made our guess, he said, "Okay. Let's find out." He set one rock in the jar . . . then another . . . then another. I don't remember how many he got in, but he got the jar full. Then he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone looked at the rocks and said, "Yes."
![Page 22: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Then he said, "Ahhh" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar and the gravel went in all the little spaces left by the big rocks. Then he grinned and said once more, "Is the jar full?"
![Page 23: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," we said. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all of the little spaces left by the rocks and the gravel. Once more he looked and said, "Is this jar full?" "No!" we roared.
![Page 24: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
He said, "Good!" and he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in. He got something like a quart of water in that jar. Then he said, " Well, what's the point?" Somebody said, "Well, there are gaps, and if you work really hard you can always fit some more things into your life."
![Page 25: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
"No," he said, "that's not really the point.
The point is this:
Put the Big
Rocks in First

4) Conquer Procrastination
![Page 28: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
4) Conquer ProcrastinationWhy is “C” fever as common as the cold?
The “A” tasks may :Produce minimal endorphinsBe too lengthyBe too difficultBe too threatening because of the
possibility of failureBe too threatening because of the
possibility of success
![Page 29: Time management part 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/54620bd2b4af9f621c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Develop a Conditioned Response to the tasks you procrastinate
• Set a goal to complete a task/project• After completing the task, reward yourself with
something that is pleasurable for you• The body releases endorphins- the feel good
hormone• Over time with repetition, you will come to associate
feeling good with completing a task/project• You won’t procrastinate as much
Endorphins- the feel good hormone

Divide and conquerA father gave his son a bundle of sticks and asked him
to break it. After the boy struggled, the father took the bundle, untied it and broke one stick at a time.
We procrastinate because the “A” tasks seem too lengthy or too difficultDivide a lengthy task into smaller, shorter parts that seem
easier to complete Divide a forty page chapter into 10 page sections Reward yourself after completing each section.

Face your fearWe procrastinate because we fear FAILURE.
It is easier to accept that we failed because we didn’t even attempt a project than to fail at doing the project.
We procrastinate because we fear SUCCESS.If I get all “A’s” this semester, everyone will expect the same
next semester.If I do an outstanding job on this project, my boss will just
pile on more work.
