Another
time management book? Yes, but this one comes at the issue with some
fresh considerations. Tyree emphasizes choice. Since we all have 24
hours each day, what we choose to do in those hours makes the
difference. She helps us determine our purposes, those areas we feel
God is calling us to focus on, then establish priorities. She also
writes about recognizing our strengths and unique abilities,
personality styles and energy levels. She helps us evaluate our
commitments. Knowing our purpose and priorities helps us to say no to
requests.
Another
new aspect of time management for me was to determine my daily cycles
of productivity. Using her method, we can establish our best times to
focus on tasks, our times we should be flexible, and the hours we can
fill with what we want (and perhaps need for our own well being). She
has a different way of writing out goals. She uses the acronym LIGHT
rather than the familiar SMART.
Tyree
includes time management tips too. We are reminded we need to say no
sometimes. Finding cheerleaders was new to me. She offers free
printable charts, such as time logs and calendars at her website to
help in the discovery tasks.
Tyree
tells lots of her own stories so the book is entertaining as well as
informative. It's a good book for people who want to figure out how
to organize their days considering their callings and their
personalities.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
