Let's Climb Together... Jennifer Yon Have you found yourself overwhelmed with your to do list or not even sure where to start? It’s ok, we all have times where we get stuck, unsure of where to turn. You may have even asked yourself if it’s even possible to carve another moment out of your day. My promise to you is that if you take the time to adhere to the simple tips in this article, you will find the ways to uncover more time for the things and people you love the most! One of my favorite scriptures is from Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “For everything this is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens.” It ends in verse 8 with, “…a time to love, a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” Do you believe there is an appointed time for everything under the sun? I do and I believe if you create balance in your life, placing God at the top of your priorities, what you think is out of reach will suddenly be at your fingertips! How much value do you place on your time and what is it that you really desire anyway? Sometimes what you want is not really what you need. Wants and needs must be clearly defined to determine where you spend most of your time. What I’ve learned is that if you allow outside forces to overstress and overwhelm you, you lose! Learn to eliminate outside pressures, attitudes from negative people and time wasters. Remind yourself daily of your top goals and don’t stray! The bottom line is, you have the power to create the life of your dreams and fit everything you want to accomplish within it. Studies say that three out of four people want to improve their time management, but only a few of us will actually develop and maintain healthy habits. So as 58 IBASuccessMagazine.com we end this issue, I will leave you with my top five tips for reclaiming your time and ultimately your life… Meet with God first. Know your life’s mission. Create strategic goals that leave room for change. Delegate, Delegate, Delegate. Get rest and reflect. Until next time friends, Let’s Climb Together
