Time Management for Overthinkers

You know how sometimes you get those wake-up calls when you least expect it? 😱😁

Yep, that was me this morning. Opened my daily devotional looking for God to give me some reaffirming gentle words of peace and love...and instead I got a smack down 😂😂😂 

If you've followed my spiritual journey, you know that when God wants to communicate with me, He doesn't bother with whispering or nudging. He basically hits me upside my head with a frying pan 😳😂

Maybe it's because otherwise he knows I wouldn't hear him above my own busy din. 

But I digress.

The message I received today was clear as a bell: STOP WASTING TIME! I'm a "doer," a "multitasker" a "take on everything" kinda gal. But what ultimately happens is I get paralyzed by my own to-do list and then I find myself wandering off into space feeding my lularoe addiction (my name is Jaime, and I have a problem with lularoe)... Fellow shopaholics please don't look that up ;)

If you're anything like me, you've probably abandoned this post by now off in search of leggings. I can't say I blame you ;)

But if God has also rang that WAKE UP bell right in your ear, and you're still here, listen up: it's time to master your time. Hear me when I say I HATE schedules. Yet I reluctantly admit that life runs much more smoothly when there is structure. 

What's the best way to dip your toe into the pool without diving head-first and hitting concrete into the shallow end?

What are your THREE BIGGEST GOALS for the next month. No, "getting through it" or some other sarcastic non-answer won't get you out of this one ;)

Go ahead, write them down...I'll wait.

Now ask yourself, is what you're doing right now...STOP. You haven't written them down yet, have you? Caught you red handed ;)

GO DO THAT NOW! 

Come back tomorrow, and I'll give you the next steps.
