We Want To Hear From YOU!Here's the revelation:Growth isn't always found in adding something.Sometimes growth is found in subtracting something.Sometimes spiritual maturity looks less like learning a new Bible verse and more like finally letting go of an old grudge.Less fear.Less pride.Less gossip.Less complaining.Less trying to control outcomes that belong to God.Today, before you make your To-Do List, make a Not-To-Do List.And let the list include:❌ Don't assume the worst.❌ Don't complain.❌ Don't entertain unforgiveness.❌ Don't revisit doors God closed.❌ Don't give fear a microphone.❌ Don't forget who God has been.Because your breakthrough may not be waiting on something you need to start doing.It may be waiting on something God has been asking you to stop doing what you have been doing.Closing Song: "My Not To-Do-List" - Written and Produced By Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Are your priorities BS? Well, focusing on that area in particular, looking at what are the things in my life that really are important to me? What are the actions that I want to take and need to take that are important to me? Even if they’re not urgent, how can I get those things scheduled so that they have a better likelihood of getting done? David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland and I will discuss the topic Are Your Priorities BS? Welcome, Jay. Jay: Hey, David, as always, such a pleasure to be with you. And another great topic. I think that it’s so easy to just do the squirrel thing or the squeaky wheel gets the grease and we don’t really know what our priorities should be a lot of the time that’s half the battle I think. David: Yeah, I think that’s true. Knowing what our priorities are and recognizing that a lot of times they’re not really what we think they are. And most of the time when I talk about stuff on these podcasts, it’s not because I’m particularly smart, is because I feel like I’ve made every stupid mistake that anyone can make. And so if I can help our listeners and viewers to avoid doing some of those things, then that’s a pretty good service. And when I think about priorities and I reflect on the priorities that I’ve had over the years and over my life, I recognize that we have priorities that we really put out there. We say, okay, this is what’s important to me. What’s important to me is my family. What’s important to me are my friends. What’s important to me is, whatever, losing weight, like if we have goals, my my priority is to do this and to do that, and all these different things. And then when we look at our actions and we realize that our actions don’t really line up with what we say our priorities are, it raises the questions are our priorities BS? And I think in some cases, even when we don’t realize it, they might be. Jay: Yeah. First of all, I’d say there’s nothing wrong with learning in the school of hard knocks. I mean, sometimes those are the best lessons we can learn. But I also think it, we can spin our wheels a lot trying to reinvent the wheel, so learning from other people can help expedite that process. Right? Which is why I’m glad you’re so willing to share the trials that you’ve had. I think that that’s so critical. But I think you’re right. We’ve talked a lot in the past about self assessment. Can you really look at yourself and know what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are? And oftentimes, I think you’re right. We think something is a priority for us, but in the grand scheme of things, and according to our own actions, it’s really not. And we’re kind of fooling ourselves. David: Yeah, and the way that I’ve actually sort of worked through some of this is recognizing that there’s a really big difference between our stated priorities, the things that we say are priorities to us, and then our actual priorities, meaning the priorities we act on the things that we do, the actual steps that we take or don’t take. Because if our priority is to spend time with our family and our actions are that we’re working all the time and we’re not spending time with our family, then we have two different sets of priorities, our stated priorities that always sound good, and then our actual priorities, which is what we’re doing on a daily basis. Jay: Yeah, I see this all the time in like TV reality shows. I don’t know why this comes to mind, but you see people saying, my family is the most important thing to me, and they’re working 80 hours a week at their career, or their job. And I’m sitting there thinking, Hmm, no, I don’t think you really understand what your priorities really are. David: Yeah, and most people are sincere, I think, when they say those things. It’s just that in many cases, life interferes. And when we allow life to interfere, then it turns out that our actual priorities are different than the ones that we’re telling ourselves and telling other people. Jay: So how do we sift through that? How do we do that self assessment and really identify what our core priorities are, and maybe we need to identify them as BS and head in a different direction. David: Well, I put together a worksheet. You can download it here. It’s very simple. It’s basically got stated priorities on the left and actual priorities on the right, and what you do is you list down on the left hand side all the things that I tell other people and that I tell myself are my actual priorities. And then you just keep an eye on what you’re doing every day. Did I take action on my top priority on the left hand side of the page? And if I didn’t, what did I do instead? If my goal is to write a book and instead I slept until 10:30, then I’ve got a stated priority and I’ve got an actual priority. And so when I’m working with clients, these are some of the things that we look at. What is it that is most important to you? What is it that you believe, that you truly believe is most important to you? What do you believe your priorities are, and then what are the actions that demonstrate what your actual priorities are? Jay: Yeah, and I think, people have specific priorities, but they get trapped in the every day. So it’s not like it isn’t my priority and the priority’s not really BS. What is BS is that I’m, not doing anything towards it. I’m letting my business run me instead of me running my business. David: Yeah, I mean, a personal one for me is like I’ve been losing and gaining the same 10 pounds for probably 20 years, right? So if my priority is actually to lose 10 pounds or whatever it is. But then I have a conflicting priority, which is, “oh, dessert!” Right? Then those two things are in conflict. And every time I choose the dessert, which is the actual priority, it’s the action that happens over the stated priority of losing the weight, then it really is BS. It’s BS to say that this is the goal, if the actions on the right hand side of the sheet are not going to correspond to that. And that’s where I feel like, by calling ourselves out on it, it might encourage us to take the actions that we need to take to accomplish the results we’re looking for and to really get our priorities in order. Jay: Yeah, and let me tell you, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, of breaking even on weight loss. David .Losing 10, gaining 10, at least you’re not completely losing that battle. So that’s something to be proud of. So we talked about the worksheet and identifying your priorities. And making sure they’re not BS. I’m guessing then you want to set a path, you’ve got to break that down into smaller chunks or something. You can’t just say, “oh yeah, that’s my new priority,” or that I’ve identified it. You’ve got to talk about how you’re going to get there. Right? David: Right. So when we look at the left side of the page and we compare it with the right, and we determine that, okay, our actions are not in line with our priorities, then it’s a matter of looking at each of those priorities and breaking each of those down into projects and tasks essentially. So a project is anything that requires more than one action. A task is basically one action, right? That’s the way I break it out. So if there are a series of three or four things that I need to do to accomplish that, then those are three or four tasks. If there are three or four or five or 10 related things that belong to an entire project, then I put it in the form of a project. And the way that I manage my time is that I use a time planner that allows me to use different colors for different things. So I use one color for projects and another color for tasks because I can look at it and say, okay, here’s a task. This is something I can knock out relatively quickly. And when you know which goals, which priorities your projects and tasks line up with, then you can always be taking action on something that is actually important to you. Jay: Yeah. And I think you’ve hit on something very key as part of this process is by writing things down, by having a color code, by doing those things, you’re giving yourself kind of back testing, right? So you can look back and say, okay, you know, do a monthly assessment. I know people who spend a couple hours on Sundays just reflecting back on their previous week and saying “Did I really make my priorities, priorities?” And so that process of writing it down, whether it’s digitally or some people still use day planners, you know, they actually still use paper. That drives me crazy. But I understand, because that’s got to be an important part of the process. David: Yeah. And I think the calendar is really an important part of the process because we could do another podcast called “To-Do Lists are BS,” right? Because I feel like in a lot of cases they are. If you have a to-do list that has a hundred things on it and you don’t get to most of them… If you’re getting to the most important things, then it’s worthwhile. But if you’re not, then how do you fix that? And generally, the only way that I’ve ever been able to fix it is to budget time on the calendar for those specific activities, block it off just like you would any other appointment and say, “okay, from this time to this time, this is what I’m doing.” Turning off the phone, not answering calls focused on doing this just as if I were having a meeting or an appointment and making that appointment with yourself. I’m sure I’m not the first person to recommend something like that, but for me, just moving things from a to-do list onto a calendar helps a great deal. As long as you’re willing to follow through on what’s on your calendar. And if you’re not, yeah, then you got some real issues. Jay: Yeah, it’s really a place where I struggle. I kind of have a good idea where my priorities are, but moving them into a schedule, I still have the tendency to just kind of do whatever I feel I want to do. that’s the life I want to live, as opposed to the things that are most important in that moment. And that comes from the fact that I haven’t identified and categorized them by level of importance. And so, again, I’m letting the mayhem of the day, and my own emotions, dictate what I’m working on at any given time. David: Yeah, I remember reading the book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, and he referenced, I think it’s called the Eisenhower Matrix. I think Eisenhower is the one who came up with it originally or popularized it. You can download it here The idea that you draw a cross on a piece of paper and you break out your priorities according to urgent and important. So one of the Sections is urgent and important. Another one is urgent, but not important. Another one is not important, but urgent. And then not important. And not urgent. Okay, that’s it. Breaks out something like that. And of course, the things that are not important and not urgent are probably the things we shouldn’t do at all. But very often they’re the easiest things to do. They’re the most tempting, and they get the attention. The things that are urgent and important tend to get done because they’re urgent and you have to do them. But the sweet spot is the area that is not urgent but important, and that’s the area that tends to get neglected in favor of the other areas. So, even doing something like that, breaking it out and saying, “okay, what are the most important tasks that I need to get done? What are the most important actions I need to take that I haven’t taken that are not time sensitive?” Because that’s what always nails us. If there’s something that’s time sensitive, that’s going to jump in ahead. And then the other category of not important but urgent, a ringing telephone, for example. Some people might view that, if they’re required to answer it, as urgent. And in that case, you don’t know who’s going to be on the other end. You have no idea how it matches with your goals or your priorities. You end up taking the call and at that point you can be derailing your success. So focusing on that area in particular, looking at what are the things in my life that really are important to me? What are the actions that I want to take and need to take that are important to me? Even if they’re not urgent, how can I get those things scheduled so that they have a better likelihood of getting done? Jay: Yeah, I love that. So figuring out first what your priorities currently are. Are they BS? Then identifying what you really want those priorities to be, and then creating a plan and scheduling that plan. Such great advice. How do people find out more? David: Well, you can go to TopSecrets.com/call to schedule a call with myself or my team. If you’re struggling to get to the results you’re looking for because of whatever, if it’s time management, if it’s a failure to actually address your own priorities, you know, there are combinations of things that can help. One of the things that I think we struggle with sometimes, and this might be a good topic for a future podcast, is the fact that in some cases, we think that more energy and more effort is going to fix the problem. But if the things that we’re doing are designed to create average results, then putting time and energy into them is just going to create average results faster. It’s not going to create exceptional results. And so by changing the activities that we’re engaged in, maybe changing the way that we’re doing some of those things, the results change dramatically. So if that makes sense to you, if you’d like to have a conversation, TopSecrets.com/call. We would love to talk with you about that. Jay: All right, David, we really appreciate you sharing your experience and what you’ve learned from trial and error and this service that you offer where people can just talk about it, because I think that’s a great place to start.

Episode 182.1: The Comedy Arena's Von Daniel and Jared Berger, To-Do Lists, Working at JCPenney, Improv Classes, Covid Comedy, and Comedy Movies
It’s easy to measure our days by productivity—what we checked off, accomplished, or completed. But Scripture gently redirects our focus. Instead of organizing life around endless tasks, we’re called to live with intentionality, recognizing that our time is limited and deeply valuable. When we “number our days,” we begin to see life through an eternal lens, not just a daily agenda. Many of the things that consume our time won’t matter a year from now—let alone in eternity. What will matter is how we loved, served, and walked with God. Shifting from a task-driven mindset to a purpose-driven life doesn’t mean abandoning responsibility—it means putting first things first. As we slow down and invite God into our daily rhythms, we begin to align our priorities with His heart, finding peace in what truly counts. Highlights To-do lists can quietly become idols that control our time and focus Numbering our days shifts perspective from urgency to purpose Eternal impact matters more than daily productivity God values how we love and serve others over accomplishments Slowing down allows space for meaningful, God-centered moments Busyness can distract us from what truly matters Living wisely means aligning daily life with eternal priorities Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Numbering Our Days By Cindi McMenamin Bible Reading:“So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12 NASB). Does your to-do list seem overwhelming at times? Whether you keep yours on paper, like I still do, and relish the joy of crossing each task off, or your list exists in the notes section of your phone or the inside of your mind, we all feel that burdening sense of all that we must do. I realize some of it is important. If you don’t grocery shop, what will you eat? If laundry isn’t done, what will you wear? If the project isn’t sectioned out in steps and worked on daily, when will it be completed? Yet what on that list, daily, will matter a year from now, 10 years from now, or in the scope of eternity? Somehow, somewhere, the almighty To-Do List rose up before us and called itself God. And we continue to bow down to it. Having been raised with a strong work ethic, I used to find it difficult to be “unproductive,” even when I was on vacation or feeling worn down, and my body was saying, “rest!” It used to be more difficult for me to slow down and not get things done than to muster up the motivation to do them. Yet the older I get, the more joy I am experiencing in putting aside the to-do list and prioritizing people over productivity. In Psalm 90:12, Moses asked God to help him realize his days are numbered so he could live wisely. In The Message translation, that verse reads, “Oh, teach us to live wisely. Teach us to live wisely and well.” Moses—a man whom Scripture says communed with God face to face—realized his need not to get caught up in meaningless tasks during the day, but to live wisely for the sake of eternity. If Moses prayed for that priority check, how much more should we? Intersecting Faith & Life: What if you and I were to number our days instead of our tasks? What if we were to make a list of what we wanted to do wisely and well each day (and before we leave this earth), rather than focus on all of the meaningless tasks that seem to be setting our schedules and ruling our days and minds? When you and I get to heaven one day, there will not be a reward for the amount of money we made or how efficient we were on our jobs while we lived on this earth. There will not be accolades for the number of followers we had on social media, or the number of hits on our website, or the number of clicks on our Instagram videos. There won’t be any kudos for having the loveliest seasonal decorations, or being the most organized member of the team, or accomplishing the most at the company. All that we tend to honor or strive for or prioritize here on this earth doesn’t mean much to God in the scope of eternity. In Micah 6:8, we are told what God honors: “He has told you, mortal one, what is good;And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” To do justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with God amounts to tasks that benefit others. It involves serving. It involves assignments that might not be on the list at all, but rather compete with our tasks and add to our frustrations when they inconvenience or delay us. God works on a different timeline than we do, so that might be why He isn’t sympathetic toward our rush, rush, rush. And it might be why He continues to convict our hearts to slow way down. God gave us enough hours in the day to do all that’s needed to fulfill our purpose in Him (to love Him and others and glorify Him in all we do). The things that may seem necessary to you on your list might not be that important to Him, or to anyone else, for that matter. Sometimes we put more pressure on ourselves than we need to. Yet, as much as we’d like to walk away from it, we often let that blasted piece of paper, or that running list on our phones or in the back of our minds, dictate how much we will enjoy life, how much time we will spend in a phone call or visit with a friend or family member, and how much time we will spend on tasks that don’t look like accomplishment to the world, but represent wealth to the Lord. Lord, help us to focus on the few things that really matter. Help us balance our list of tasks by ensuring people-related activities are included. Don’t let us waste our lives on paperwork, computer work, or busywork that won’t amount to anything in eternity. Help us number our days by filling them with purpose as we number our lists.

If you've ever thought, “Why can I not get my life together when it comes to time?”—you are absolutely not alone.This conversation felt like such a breath of fresh air because we're not talking about rigid schedules, perfect planners, or waking up at 5am (thank goodness). Instead, we're digging into what actually works for real moms with real lives… you know, the kind where kids interrupt everything and plans fall apart before lunch.I had so much fun hearing about Anna's real-life experiences in the professional world, SO different than my life, and wait until you hear what we both have in common when it comes to being POOR at time management! I couldn't believe her confession about getting in trouble at work for a time-related issue…What I love most is that Anna brings so much grace and practicality to this topic. She doesn't expect perfection; and honestly, that might be the most freeing part of all.In this episode, you'll learn:Why time management isn't really about your planner (and what actually matters instead)A simple “mind sweep” method to instantly reduce overwhelm and clear your mental clutterHow to figure out what actually deserves your time (and what you can let go of)Practical ways to involve your kids so you're not doing everything yourselfWhat to do when your plans fall apart (because… they will)A simple framework to handle those chaotic, stressful moments without spiralingIf you've been feeling scattered, behind, or just plain overwhelmed, this episode is going to meet you right where you are, and give you a few doable steps to move forward.Resources We Mention for Time Management for MomsGet Anna's Blueprint to Balance hereBuy Anna's book, Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity on Amazon or Bookshop.orgWhen we talk about being an “upholder” or a “rebel,” that's from Gretchen Rubin's book The Four Tendencies.Learn more from my interview with Megan Sumrell about managing your time, and check out her TOP program for a free training on getting your life together!Check out the cookbook FOR kids, BY kids at kidscookrealfood.com/chefjr.

Welcome to today's ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. Your to-do list Is lying to you… not everything is urgent, and productivity isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters most. As Greg McKeown says: “When you prioritize the important over the urgent, you don't just get more done, you get the right things done.” And that's the difference between a busy life and a meaningful one. We're throwing it back to 3 practical steps to master prioritization using principles from productivity minimalism and Essentialism. We cover the Law of Inverse Prioritization, and effective decision-making questions to filter every task and commitment. Listen to our full episode here. Resources mentioned: Greg McKeown's Instagram video Greg's book and academy on Essentialism Tune in every Monday for an expert dose of life advice in under 10 minutes.

To nie jest "typowy" wpis - chciałem Cię tylko poinformować, że po 9 miesiącach (uffff!) skończyłem pracę nad BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: High Performance. Nie chcę tu go wychwalać albo reklamować, dlatego zrobimy tak: wypiszę to co w BiM 2 omówiłem i to pomoże podjąć Ci decyzję, czy chcesz go kupić czy też nie. W pierwszej kolejności o tym, dla kogo jest BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: dla ludzi w biznesie dla ludzi w korporacjach dla ludzi w polityce dla sportowców dla ludzi w jednostkach specjalnych oraz dla wszystkich tych, których interesuje sięganie po więcej Dla kogo NIE jest BiM2? Bez wątpienia nie jest to program dla początkujących. NIE polecam również zaczynania przygody z ZenJaskiniowca od tego właśnie programu... Najbardziej skorzystają ci, którzy już znają moją twórczość, moje programy, moje podcasty, szczególnie BYĆ i MIEĆ 1. Pomimo tego, że BYĆ i MIEĆ 2 pomyślane jest jako program niezależny. Czyli - dobrze jest mieć bazę i przerobić to co było wcześniej, jeśli jednak tak się nie stało, nie ma szczególnego problemu. Jest to zatem program dla tych, którzy pracowali już z moimi materiałami i dla tych, którzy chcą spojrzeć na siebie, swoje możliwości oraz na świat w inny, lepszy sposób. Wiele w programie tym elementów, z którymi ja się spotkałem po raz pierwszy. WSTĘP - wstępu nie ma, bo od razu przechodzimy do rzeczy. ROZDZIAŁ 1 - Obi Wan Nairobi Czy aby napewno mental jest najważniejszym elementem High Performance? I czy aby na pewno najlepszym sposobem poprawy swojego mentalu jest praca nad nim bezpośrednio? Czym jest model MUSK? Jakie są dwie podstawowe przeszkody na drodze do wyjątkowych osiągnięć? Czego i High Performance uczą nas MrBeast, Matthew McConaughey i Anthony Hopkins? oraz czy skupianie się na detalach ma jakikolwiek sens? ROZDZIAŁ 2 - ALL BLACKS Czy High Performance polega na połączeniu się pod tradycję czy też na odrzuceniu jej? Dlaczego Juliusz Cezar popłakał się na widok pomnika Aleksandra Wielkiego? Jak pracować nad tym czego nikt nie będzie mógł ci odebrać? TO-DO-LIST vs TO-BE-LIST Jakie jest 5 pytań, które pomogą kształtować twoją nową, lepszą tożsamość? Jakich 3 mantra uczeni się wszyscy zawodnicy All Blacks? Jak postrzegać presję by cię wzmacniała? oraz na czym polega model czerwonej głowy / niebieskiej głowy? Czego tresura psów uczy o High Performance u ludzi? Jak w 3 krokach radzić sobie w sytuacji presji przy bardzo wysokich stawkach? Jakie są pułapki pogoni za większą pewnością siebie oraz do czego prowadzi wygrywanie tylko tego momentu... ROZDZIAŁ 3 - MACHIAVELLI dlaczego silni potrzebują konfliktów i godnego wroga? Czy jest jego prawie nieznana ale absolutnie rewolucyjna koncepcja UNO SOLO (oraz jakie są dalekosiężne jej konsekwencje) Do jakiej pozycji powinien dążyć każdy ambitny człowiek? Czy ekspansja jest dobrym pomysłem - a jeśli tak, to jaka? Jaka była główna - a często jedyna - motywacja wielkich historycznych postaci? (nie, nie chodzi o próżność) W jaki sposób High Performance wiąże się z koniecznością - czyli de facto z brakiem wyboru i wolności Która z konieczności musi być dla Księcia najważniejsza? Co powinno być jedynym hamulcowym pogoni za więcej? Na czym polega myślenie w kategoriach konieczności? i dlaczego starożytni byli silniejszymi ludźmi niż współcześni? Jaki jest jedyny sposób na osiągnięcie nieśmiertelności? Czym dla Machiavellego było "dobre, szczęśliwe życie"? W jaki sposób zrozumieli ludzkiej kondycji prowadzi w logiczny sposób do sięgania po więcej? Czym u Maka było pojęcie prawdy faktycznej (rzeczywistej) i jakie są konsekwencje tego pojęcia? Czy twoja religia aby na pewno cię wzmacnia? Co jest jedynym gwarantem skutecznego działania? Jaką jest "etyka" w wykonaniu Machiavellego? Jaka jest jego psychologia High Performance i czym są LEW, LIS, SPIRITO i AMINO? Dlaczego musisz być bardziej zwierzęciem niż człow...
Are you constantly feeling the pressure of a loaded To-Do List, or are you time rich? In this episode, we explore what "time affluence" is and why it matters more than a bigger paycheck. You'll learn how time poverty fuels stress, why agency over your hours restores ease, and how small daily rituals can expand your sense of time. We also explore research showing that awe, presence, and choosing experiences over things increase well-being. Time-rich living is something we choose, and when we do, the benefits are big.
