Margin Maxims
Preparing to start the new year I have become more selective about what I spend my time doing. I have stopped reading a lot of the blog and books I was reading to maximize the effectiveness of my time spent on such things. This has meant the removal of several things from my reading list, but in several cases it has meant adding something to that list. In regards to the latter I have just recently become a reader of Mark Batterson’s Blog Evotional.com and it is already proving to be a wise choice.
This morning Mark wrote about “Seven Margin Maxims”. These seven things really resonated with me. So, I made a few personal modifications and printed them out to be posted in my office. Here are seven margin maxims as Mark relays them.
1) Put Your Family First
2) Guard Your Day Off
3) Don’t Check Email During Peak Productivity Hours
4) Get Out of the Office Whenever Possible
5) Start Your Day With Devotions
6) Put Together a Stop Doing List
7) Use All Your Vacation Days
Maybe these seven don’t fit you like they fit me. So, make your own list. Hold yourself to them and be determined to create margin in your life.
