Episode 9: Scheduling the Daily Grind

For most of us - every day is different so having a set schedule every day doesn't work unless you're a multiple full time staff church.

 

Scheduling Your Days

• Divide your day into 3 sections: morning; afternoon; evening
  • only work 2 of those sections 
  • so if you have an evening meeting - take off morning or afternoon
  • Schedule tasks during best time of day for you to do that…ie study, emails, appointments, meetings...
• Schedule your sermon prep/ get away from office?
• Schedule a day off
• Don’t use flexibility to short change your church

 

Scheduling times of the year

• There are times that are busier.  If I have camp - then I will take off a few days before and after

 

• Share your leadership…someone said my best 42 were much better than my mediocre 50. Invest and leadership your church to invest in leaders.
