Introduction

When I’m too busy


Work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.
George MacDonald

Before setting out, you should know if you’re
a) too busy
b) way too busy, or
c) don’t have time to talk about it too busy.
Here’s a simple self evaluation to guide you.

Your personality and temperament, combined with your life experiences, are all part of how God wired you. If you score high in “choleric,” obviously your temperament plays a large role in your busyness. Although the overload seems overwhelming, it’s not hopeless. Why don’t you read this story of one fan of busyness. Now, if you skipped the self-evaluations and the story because you don’t have enough time, scroll down and click “Next” to continue your “When I’m too busy” path.

Journaling is an important part of this process. You probably are not in the habit of journaling, however, you will find that capturing thoughts, recording insights, and creating a resource for reference is a worthwhile investment of your time and energy. This Day of Prayer and Vision journal should be helpful.
