There came a time in my own life when I wanted to make sound decisions about the budgeting of my time, and I wanted to be free of that frantic pitch of daily life in which one is always playing catch-up.
Symptoms of Disorganization
1) My desk takes on a cluttered appearance.
2) The symptoms tend to show themselves in
the condition of my car.
3) I become aware of a diminuition in my
self-esteem.
4) There are a series of forgotten appointments, messages to
which I failed to respond, and deadlines I have begun to miss.
5) I tend to invest my energies in
unproductive tasks.
6) Disorganized people feel poorly about
their work.
7) Disorganized Christians rarely enjoy
intimacy with God.
8) The quality of my personal relationships usually reveals it. I may become irritable.
9) When we are disorganized in our control of time, we don’t
like ourselves, our jobs, or much else about our worlds.
Time must be budgeted! We must resolve to seize control of our time. The disorganized person must have a budgeting perspective of time.
