“Before the fall, work was good and rest was good.”
“We can trust Him. We can work from a state of peace instead of anxiety.”
“The sanctification process should apply to every area of our lives, and I don’t think our time management and our work-life balance should be an exception to that.”
“We ignore this reality that our time is finite, that our mental energy is finite, that our physical energy is finite - and we just try to do more than we can.”
“Being realistic about the amount that we can actually do on any given day or any given week is a really important place to start.”
“It’s not about saying I can’t work, but it is about intentionally - I’m choosing when I’m going to work, I’m choosing when I’m not. That way, you get out of this trap of feeling guilty for not working and feeling guilty for working.”
Clockwork by Mike Michalowicz
“The things that I actually treasure are the things I skip when I get busy.”
Treasure (what do I value?), trash (what can I stop doing?), trim (what can I do less? could I do this half as often?), and transfer (what could someone else do?)
“Find people who can help repetitively, and then invest in teaching them.”
“What is a teacher’s core responsibility? In most cases, it’s teaching great lessons. Am I freeing up space for that?”
“A vacation is great, but it’s not going to magically solve all of your problems.”
