How well are you managing your time? If you’re a busy parent, entrepreneur, or someone juggling a side hustle, you’ve probably felt the pressure of never having enough hours in the day. Time is our most precious commodity and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Yet, so many of us don’t treat it with the respect it deserves. The good news is that you can reclaim control over your schedule and make time work for you. Here are a few strategies I’ve picked up from incredible mentors over the years—lessons I wish I’d known much sooner. First, prioritise with intention. Start each week by identifying your top three priorities. These should align with your goals and values, ensuring your time is spent on what truly matters. Second, schedule everything. Whether it’s work tasks, family commitments, or personal time, diarising keeps you organised and focused. Treat your calendar like a sacred space. Lastly, embrace efficiency. Say no to distractions and tools that overcomplicate your process. Simplicity is often the fastest path to productivity. The key takeaway? Time management isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what matters most. By mastering your schedule, you’ll create space for growth, connection, and the life you’ve been dreaming of. Let’s dive in together and explore how these tips can transform not only your business, but your entire approach to time. You’ve got this! We’ll be talking about: ➡ [0:00] Introduction ➡ [01:34] Lots of things to juggle ➡ [02:25] Time yourself ➡ [03:15] Utilise the Facebook business suite app ➡ [04:34] Calendarise your time for social media ➡ [05:21] Managing your time by diarising everything ➡ [07:57] Colour code with highlighters ➡ [09:05] Time block instead of multi-tasking ➡ [11:13] Be mindful of productivity tools ➡ [13:33] Final thoughts Are you ready to keep growing?

In this episode of the EntrePastors Podcast Jon speaks some words of encouragement and hope to any pastor who is struggling feeling discouraged, defeated, and desperate.  In our work at EntrePastors, it's not uncommon for us to hear from pastors who are so exhausted and frustrated.  When they initially come to us we can see it in their posture and hear it in their countenance.  However, we have also seen some of those discouraged and desperate pastors get to a place of abundance and margin.  We celebrate with them as they get the “fire back in their bellies.”  In this episode, Jon will offer up seven statements that will encourage a desperate pastor and illuminate a path forward to a healthier place. Call to Action:Apply for one of our limited opening for a 30-day experience inside our Business Builders communityhttps://www.entrepastors.com/experience

You can't change the world if you're scared to stand out [that's an insight worth meditating on and deconstructing, I promise you]. The personal computer, for example, came out of the Bay Area counterculture scene. It's only the rebels, outlaws and misfits of society who can see society differently. And catch gorgeous glimpses of a higher possibility. If you'd like to install the daily habits of the world's most successful, healthy and happy human beings so that 2024 becomes the single greatest year of your life, definitely go ahead and get one of the extremely limited memberships to HabitCamp, his life-changing new online course. You're going to absolutely love this revolutionary virtual program for personal transformation. FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube
