What every Leader Needs to Plan for this Week.

A Leaders life is busy and often times we live overstretched lives. If there is one thing that must be done this week - it is to take this short list and implement it this week.
There are things that must be done, there are things that we would like to get done and there are things that others want us to do. Let's elimnate much out of the third option by saying, "No!" Let's take what we would like to do and refine it, combine it and delegate it. Now let's reconfigure the elements of life that "must" be done and put some at the beginning of each day.
Now we can add the most urgent in our priority list.
1. Invest time with my wife over a coffee, a sandwhich at lunch or a walk around the neighborhood. You are investing into what really matters most.
2. Invest time with your son and/or daughter today. Don't let another day go by without calling them or meeting them. They are one of your most precious assests in life.
3. Invest time planning some time off - even if it is a short afternoon, early morning, or weekend. Time refreshing is time investing.
4. Invest time in your health both physical and spiritual. Prayer and Bible reading develops a river of joy in your heart. Physical excercise and a healthy diet invest in your future.
