(Proverbs 17:24 GN) An intelligent person aims at wise action, but a fool starts off

in many directions.

-If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.

(Psalm 90:12 NIV) Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of

wisdom.

(Psalm 90:12 LB) Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are;

help us to spend them as we should.

1. Define my purpose and responsibilities.

2. Prioritize the “big rocks.”

3. Create an “ideal week” schedule.

4. Weekly evaluate, eliminate, and execute.

-Order determines capacity.

-If you learn to say “no”, you’ll trade popularity for respect.
