00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.960
Keep the main thing the main thing. Do we not get busy and distracted with minors

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.800
instead of the majors? Do we forget to keep the main thing the main thing? So

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.400
the most important aspect of creating our schedule clearly is to know what's

4
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:26.040
important and to schedule what's important first. See, remember we said

5
00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:31.080
that it's very easy to crowd out the important with the urgent. If you leave

6
00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:34.600
things to their own and if you have a garden and you leave it in its own way

7
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.840
the weeds are gonna take over the garden. If you leave your life just random just

8
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.040
let it just flow. I don't like structure some of you say. I don't want to be

9
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:48.040
governed by a calendar or compass or anything. I just want to be free. Let me

10
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:53.600
be free. There's a very high possibility if you do that that distractions are

11
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.160
going to crowd out the things you're really trying to accomplish. To truly

12
00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:03.880
focus on the important it does have to have some type of system some type of

13
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.480
calendaring. So I'd like to maybe have you think about something a little

14
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.600
different. For those of you that do not like structure don't put me in a box.

15
00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:22.720
Systems and calendar is a form of a system can create tremendous freedom and

16
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.520
part of the freedom is it can get stuff off your brain. Those of you that are

17
00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.880
just trying to remember and you're like okay I yeah okay I got to do that and

18
00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:37.000
that and that and that and you forget something super important. I can't tell

19
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.400
you how many people have forgotten clients, forgotten customers, forgotten

20
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:49.360
something really important. It's easy to do. You can't get so busy that you forget

21
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.840
what's really important. So systems calendars are a way of creating freedom

22
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.560
in your life to free your brain to focus on creativity and things that you would

23
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.840
like to focus on to be really present with the people you love and not

24
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.680
distracted trying to remember what's coming next in the next hour. So we want

25
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:15.440
to use a calendaring system. What does scripture say? Ecclesiastes 3 1 in

26
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:23.400
the Amplified says there is a season, a time appointed for everything. See God

27
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.080
must believe in some kind of calendaring. He has the seasons come. He makes

28
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.600
four seasons every year. They might have a different length depending where you

29
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:35.760
are on the equator on the world but there's there's typically four seasons.

30
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:41.120
He chose to do that. Seven days. He must think that's important. One day of rest.

31
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.560
He must think it's important to have some kind of scheduling. So it says

32
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.360
there is a season, a time appointed for everything and a time for every delight.

33
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.280
Remember every delight. That needs to be scheduled. There's a time for every

34
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.720
delight. If you're tending toward workaholism and you don't think there's

35
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.100
any room and you're putting off your life until after you retire and then

36
00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:09.880
you're too sick to enjoy what it was that you put off for your whole life. No.

37
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:17.320
Every day there's a time. Every delight and every event and every purpose under

38
00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:21.000
heaven there's a season. There's a time.
