Essential Living: Outflow - a podcast by Brunswick SDA Church

Some of what we think about as we begin the new year is
increased personal effectiveness, but what does it mean
to get things done? To accomplish what is essential?
Here are seven myths, busted.

“Myth #1: Productivity is about getting more done faster.
Truth: Productivity is about effectiveness first, not efficiency.
“Myth #2: The way to be productive is to have the right techniques and tools.
Truth: Productivity comes first from character, not techniques.
“Myth #3: It is not essential to give consideration to what God has to say about productivity.
Truth: We cannot be truly productive unless all our activity stems from
love for God and the acknowledgment that he is sovereign over all
our plans.
“Myth #4: It is not essential to make the gospel central in our view of productivity.
Truth: The only way to be productive is to realize that you don’t have to be
productive.
“Myth #5: The aim of time management should be our peace of mind.
Truth: Productivity is first about doing good for others to the glory of God.
“Myth #6: The way to succeed is to put yourself first.
Truth: We become most productive by putting others first, not ourselves.
“Myth #7: We will have peace of mind if we can get everything under control.
Truth: Basing our peace of mind on our ability to control everything will
never work.”
