Time Management: Efficiency vs Effectiveness
Photo - jscreationzs at freedigitalphotos.net
I feel a little scatter brained this morning. I really hate that. I’m so excited to do so many things I end up not doing anything until I can get myself focused. I’m partly to blame for this since instead of doing what I was supposed to do this morning I decided instead to catch up, scan and read the numerous blogs I follow each week. (That’s suppose to happen Friday mornings at the end of the week so I don’t get distracted mid-week as is the case now. 
) And, now, even though its early in the morning, I am already behind on my day…ugh. I really don’t like being late or behind on things.
This whole scenario reminded me of a recent article I just read by Lee Cockerell on time management. (retired executive vice president for Disney operations) Continue Reading…

Quick Thoughts:

How I Finally Developed a Consistent “Quiet Time” With God
If you’ve grown up in church, or have just started attending, you will hear people start talking about the important of reading your Bible. Everyone seems to use a different word or phrase to define it.
“Quiet time, devotions, devotional time, bible study, God time, etc, etc”
Here’s my problem I wanted someone to define what this habit or discipline should look like. Simply tell me the “right” way to spend some time with God. I never knew why this was such a source of guilt and frustration for me. The fact that I was experiencing those feelings made me think all the more that I was doing something wrong. I was reminded about all this recently when someone asked me what my bible study/ personal time with God looked like. It’s not profound, or anything out of the ordinary, but perhaps my process of finding a “rhythm” that worked for me may help someone else. Continue Reading…
Do you consistently read your Bible? – I really want to know.
My Top 3 Productivity Apps

I sometime’s get asked by staff, volunteers or friends on how I organize my files, notes, resources and projects.
They ask me, because I’m a minimalist and love things to work quickly, efficiently and simply. And if it looks awesome at the same time, that’s a bonus.
So, here are the top three apps and tools I use multiple times throughout every day.
