Before talking about the meaning of managing time for things that are a priority, it is better to first get acquainted with its which have become general terms that we hold and trust.

God gave me the ability to manage the time available, but often it was me who was governed by time and I was usually less grateful for the time God gave. In Ephesians 5:16 and Colossians 4: 5 say “… make the most of your time …” When a day is just for a day, God reminds His children to use the best time possible. In Ecclesiastes 3: 1-15, teaches us that for everything there is a time. When there is planning that should be made so that no time is wasted (Chronos). And don’t forget that we take the time to come to God’s presence and give thanks.
Plan time in advance and work on these activities in accordance with the time planned, and work on each of our tasks in stages according to the priority scale set because the tasks that are stacked will feel heavier than the tasks that are paid in installments slowly. Managing time is not easy, especially if there are many activities or activities that must be done. I feel confused about how to manage time. The way to manage time at high school is different from when you were in college. When I entered the lecture level, I experienced difficulties in managing time. In fact, during high school, with many activities such as teaching and learning activities, organizations, committees, community, learning, homework, etc.
In this modern age, time is a very valuable thing. There is a saying that “Time is money.” The saying is very familiar to the listeners. However, the truth is, time is valuable. People do a job that spends time interpreting values, not just chasing money because time cannot be repeated. Therefore, time management is needed in carrying out daily activities and arranged in such a way with wisdom, effective and efficient.
If you never set priorities in a clear form, it will not have a reference point to select the commitments and opportunities that present them abundance. Without priority to guide your decisions, your calendar will be flooded with obligations that will not fulfill your life.
Here are some questions that I recommend to my clients to ask themselves to describe their priorities: What is my value? What is my responsibility? What time am I most worth investing in? What are my talents, talents, and gifts? How do I want to be remembered?
Finding our priorities requires introspection. Start to find your priorities by asking yourself: “What kind of life do I want? How do I want to spend my time?”. Some of us have set goals for one week or one year but have never been reflected in personal priorities and professional priorities. Even if we reach our goals, we still feel empty if we don’t live in things that are important to us.
Pain can certainly be a motivation, but I find there is nothing more powerful and a long-lasting motivator than identifying and welcoming your priorities.
Some people believe that time management is setting goals and agendas, breaking down tasks into manageable parts, and maintaining multiple job listings. Organizing your day may include some or all of these strategies, but those who are able to manage their time in a valuable way begin by making room for their priorities. Once they are able to identify things that are truly valuable to them, they can start organizing around their personal priorities.
As a professional organizer, I have the opportunity to observe unorganized people from all walks of life, both in the business world and personal life, and to describe their reasons for the change. I have concluded that people change their habits for two reasons: they have reached the “pain point” due to the chronic irregular lifestyle they live in, or they are inspired by what might happen in their lives if they become more organized.
