HOW TO FEEL LESS BUSY AND BE
MORE FRUITFUL IN YOUR EVERYDAY
LIFE

Are you one of the millions who feelconstantly busy?Do you wake up thinking: I might as well stay in bed. There’s no way I can get everything
done! Obviously that’s not a good way to live. God would much rather see you relaxed and confident in Him, peaceful and fulfilling your
purpose in life. So if you’re in a habit of feeling anxious and overwhelmed, I want to help you fix that.

You may think time is the problem—that there just isn’t enough of it. But God gives everyone the same amount. We all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. I guess that’s God’s way of saying that’s all the time we need to live a well-balanced life with plenty of time for work, rest and play.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (AMPC) says, “To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven.”

Instead of dreading that you don’t have enough time, you can make the decision to have more wisdom with the way you spend your time.

You know, we spend time just like we spend money. When we spend it, it’s gone,and we can’t get it back. So we need to think about what we are
spending it on and decide whether or not we are making the right choices.

No matter what’s on your to-do list today, I want to encourage you to know God hasn’t called you to be busy. He wants you to live purposefully and
be fruitful.
