In this episode, Dr. Timothy McFall shares on the importance of time management. 

Everything boils down to what you do with your time. If you don’t have a destination, then you are not driven with time management. If you have a purpose, then you are motivated to do something with your time. 

If you understand time management, you will succeed. Ask yourself: Where will you be in five years? Where will your church or ministry be in five years? Then break down the long-term goal into intermediate goals: year 1, year 2, year 3, year 4 and year 5.

The hardest thing will be figuring out where you want to be in five years. If you don’t have destination, any old road will do. You need to be able to see where you want to go: What do I want this certain department in the church to look like in 5 years? What do I want the end result to look like in 5 years? Where do I personally want to be in 5 years? This requires vision, and God will start to show you the steps how to get there. 

To implement the 5-year long-term goal, for example for a church/ministry department, first focus on where you’ll want to be during the first year. You can break down the year into 12 months, and implement 5 process goals. Process goals mean that you are doing something specific towards the goal, and then discovering how to put them into action. You can do research and start assessing practical steps for the goals. You will find you'll be motivated to achieve your process goals when you have a purpose and destination. 

It is vital to find exceptional leaders who can manage the system you set up for your goal. The system hinges on itself, and not on the individuals.  

Successful churches will learn and find their system which will continue to work, even when people come and go.  

Time management is learning how to use your time wisely and taking an assessment of what you are doing daily. If you’ll learn to manage time, you’ll succeed.
