Welcome back to Mom's No Chaos Zone!
Time management is the stewardship of our time, how we each decide to spend the 24 hours we’re given each day. Time management analyzes where we spend our time, how much time are we spending on activities, WHY we’re taking the time, and deciding if we need to make any changes. Time management is a tool, not a goal! The tool of time management helps you make the most out of the time you have so you end up doing the things you want and need to do – this is balance. So you see, time management is a means to an end. Your end goal hopefully isn’t just to have a perfectly oiled routine or simply to get more and more stuff crammed into your day.
So, you might ask, since time management in itself isn’t your goal, and getting more stuff done isn’t necessarily your goal, what IS your goal? I’m going to assume your goal is to have a balanced life where you can get the physical things that need to be done taken care of, and done well, have time for the important relationships in your life, and have a little time left over for rest and refreshment, always keeping in view what’s really important. A life that you can anticipate hearing “well done good and faithful servant” at the end and have joy in the meantime.
