I love it when God does that - answers my questions in a way I never imagined! I also love how God continues working through people, even if their actions (or posts) were years ago. . . The Rebelution has been a huge blessing to me. Thank you for being willing to step out, to set an example of doing hard things for us to follow. God bless you!

It speaks as to how vigilant and thoughtful you are in spending your time. If each one of us tries to achieve this , our world would be no different from heaven. Great article!

Let's see, my #1 time waster is definitely the computer. » What are the things that I should be doing but just don’t have time for? Homeowrk I procrastinate, and practicing bass are probably the 2 big ones. » Would I have time for these things if I managed by time better? *coughyescough* » When am I going to do something about my time-wasting habits? AND… I need a better battle plan, mine never seem to work... » Who is going to do it with me? (The last question is because accountability and encouragement are important!) maybe my friend? my mom even? I'll get on finding someone :) Awesome, you caught me wasting time too :P lol Guilty!!

I would point out that others certainly propose a varying case, especially in terms of gardening. Has anyone here seen more interesting information on the Web, and would you let me know where?

I hate it when people waste time, when I waste time, and when people waste my time. You only get so much time. Look at this summer! People are already complaining that it's almost over, (as they always do) but they don't ever do anything about it. I know a friend that plays video games almost all summer. Use your summers, don't waste them. I agree completely! I hate it when people waste time, when I waste time, and when people waste my time. You only get so much time. Look at this summer!

I like how you show the slow insidiousness of how we waste our time-ten minutes there, half an hour here. So true! To-do lists and some sort of scheduling process are essential to staying on track. A book I would heartily recommend to everyone concerned with how to stop wasting time is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, and Make Today Count by John C. Maxwell (in bookstores everywhere). Maxwell's book is short and easy to read but well worth it. He has a section on Priorities which ties in closely with what your getting at here, but then he also has a section on values. I think this is particularly important because we can have all the structure in the world but if our scheduled activities don't align with our values we're not accomplishing much. In Make Today Count, Maxwell advocates writing out a list of values, putting it in concrete form, and reviewing it every day to stay on track. I'd encourage you guys to do this. I have a list of values pinned to my wall where I see and reflect on them every morning. It helps me do two things at once: align my day with my values and be productive! Read the book and give it a try. God Bless! Fantastic post guys. I like how you show the slow insidiousness of how we waste our time-ten minutes there, half an hour here. So true!

But even when i say that, i think your view is a little harsh. Why is doing nothing so wrong? Are we not entitled to a little relaxing? i know that some days I enjoy just laying in bed till noon before I start my day. Why is it a sin to want to just have a little quiet time? And why is it the Devil that instills laziness in us? I’m just about the biggest procrastinator i know, but I am not lazy when it comes to things that have to get done.
