Chapter 3 Summary: Time Management

In the realm of time management, we are the ultimate managers of the time we have at our disposal. Nobody can understand the intricacies of our daily lives better than we can, not even our closest family members, the ones who know us best. We all face the challenge of managing our time effectively; however, even with our best efforts, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt our plans at any moment without prior notice. Life often throws us unexpected challenges no matter what we are doing, whether it’s a cavity at the dentist, a flat tire on the way to work, a sudden health issue, or something that happens to a loved one.


Our reality is that we work tirelessly to manage our time every day, trying to make sure that we can meet all of our obligations and responsibilities on time. In spite of this, perhaps it is time to reassess our priorities and make sure we aren’t simply adding God, family, and others to the end of our list of things to do. Our lives can be more meaningful and fulfilling if we plan our entire lives in a way that takes into account the most important things, which are God, family, and others. Some may argue that there is barely enough time in the day to do what needs to be done, let alone focus on these essential aspects of life. It is precisely for this reason that effective time management is so important.


As we face challenges on how to manage our time effectively, Daniel Evan’s book, “Your Time”  can  help us gain a profound understanding of time and its value. “Your Time” is a profound and enlightening exploration of the concept of time from God’s perspective. The book delves into the intrinsic value of time, showcasing a diverse range of viewpoints from philosophers, poets, politicians, evangelists, entrepreneurs, and other individuals who recognize its significance.


Time management is a personal decision that each individual makes based on their personal priorities. Despite the fact that he was facing adversity, Daniel, even under threat of being cast into a den of lions, made time every day for prayer (Daniel 6). Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den and emerged unscathed, prospering in the kingdom afterwards, but there is no guarantee of such an outcome. There are, however, many rewards to be gained from the proper prioritization of tasks. 


Daniel Evans’ compelling and thought-provoking book, “Your Time,” arrives at a timely moment when the value of time is being brought into sharp focus. In an era where our lives are constantly bombarded with distractions and our attention is pulled in countless directions, the significance of managing our time wisely has never been more crucial.


Nonetheless, it is important to be aware that our priorities need to be reevaluated frequently and that they must be adjusted accordingly. The fact is that the demands of our family, friends, and circumstances may demand our attention, but God waits patiently for us to make time to spend with Him. Managing our time in a way that allows Him to be our priority is crucial for our success. Even though God exists outside of time, He is the one who is responsible for controlling that time. We are now back at the concept of trust. It is up to us to trust Him to help us manage our time effectively.


In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “If you love life, then do not waste time, because that is what makes life worth living.” Time is indeed the essence of life, and it is our responsibility to make sure we utilize it wisely. Spending our precious time on trivial matters should be avoided at all costs; time can easily slip through our fingers if we don’t pay attention. To make the most of our time, we need to be intentional about how we allocate our time, aligning our priorities and goals with what motivates us.


It’s clear that time management requires continuous effort on our part in order to be successful. As we navigate through the complexities of life, we need to continually evaluate, adjust, and trust in a higher power to guide us. With this, Daniel Evans’ book, “Your Time” can help us gain more knowledge about the value and importance of time in God’s perspective. The book also serves as a timely resource for individuals seeking to manage their time effectively and cultivate a purposeful life. So, as we prioritize the most important aspects of life, including time with God, we will be able to find peace, purpose, and success in managing our own time effectively.
