Seven Thoughts on Time Management from Doug Wilson

Great thoughts by Doug Wilson.

Here are the seven points:

  1. The point is fruitfulness, not efficiency. [Comment: This point is especially excellent. Very often, the question for optimal efficiency backfires and is actually less efficient. It's this way in management as well: seek effectiveness, and efficiency often follows. Seek efficiency, and you'll probably lose both.]
  2. Build a fence around your life, and keep that fence tended.
  3. Perfectionism paralyzes.
  4. Fill in the corners.
  5. Plod.
  6. Take in more than you give out.
  7. Use and reuse.

Read the whole thing.

    Hey Matt and Doug,

    I love your first point–and wrote a blog piece on fruitfulness vs. effectiveness last year: http://www.fiveq.com/blog/strategy/are-you-fruitful-or-effective/

    Blessings,
