WILL OF GOD

WORD (Commands, Principles, Examples)
INPUT from others (Peers, Leaders, Experts)
LOGIC
                Life Plan to glorify God and serve others
                Obedience to the Great Commission
                Grow in Grace (rewards)
                Increase Usefulness to the Master
                Christlikeness
LEADING of Holy Spirit 
                (not feelings/peace/circumstances but conviction)

CLASSIFY

1. Important & Urgent
2. Important & Non-Urgent
3. Non-important & Urgent 
4. Non-important & Non-Urgent

Important tasks are those that contribute to your most important written goals and objectives (directly or as prerequisites).

Urgent tasks are those that must be done within a specified time (deadline) or have some other time specification.

PRIORITIZE

A - (I)                     ACT & ACHIEVE this week (today)
B - (II & III)           BEGIN ACTION this week
C - (III & IV)         CAN be left undone

Questions to ask when comparing tasks:
                Stitch in Time?
                Balance?
                Consequences (+/-) of doing or leaving undone?
                                Greatest Benefit/Damage
                Delegate/Transfer to someone else?
