My thought as I’m writing this is, “There’s never enough time.” It reminds me of the romanticized musical about Alexander Hamilton and the song “Non-Stop.”
I attended a retreat with a group that included faith-driven agency owners and leaders a couple of weeks ago. Agency Builders is a community that craves accountability and wants to manage time well so we don’t become dull blades.
That’s why I think you’ll love this conversation I had with bestselling author Jordan Raynor.
Busyness is a distraction that erodes our attention, drains our energy, and minimizes our effectiveness.
In this conversation, Jordan Raynor shares how we can overcome busyness and redeem our time.

Time is the one resource we never seem to have enough of. Once it’s gone — it’s gone! We can earn more money, but we can never gain any more time.
So how can we make the most of our time?
The gospels don’t show Jesus walking around with a to-do list or a calendar. But they do show him dealing with distractions at work, fighting for solitude, and seeking to be busy without being hurried.
The gospel biographies show Jesus facing many of the same challenges we face today as we seek to steward our limited time. Because he was the infallible God, we can assume that Jesus managed his time perfectly, providing us with the ideal model to follow.
In Jordan’s book, Redeeming Your Time: 7 Biblical Principles for Being Purposeful, Present, and Wildly Productive, Jordan shows you seven timeless time management principles from the life of Christ and 31 hyper-practical practices to help you live out those principles today.
