Spare Time Determines What Is Most Important To You

2 MIN READ

By Sean 2 Comments

Great athletes, great inventors, great speakers, have one thing in common. They value the spare time. They live to maximize those gaps. They don’t waste precious minutes.

Spare TimeThis is a blog entry from pastor Bernard Marquez. He is one of the inspirations and reasons why I started blogging. A great and wise man. This blog entry of his changed my life. His blogsite is coming up soon! So wait for it!

Success lies in how we use our spare time.
Everyone protects their 8 solid hours either for work or study.  But many individuals fail to locate where the other 16 hours go.
There is more gold in the spare time than in the committed time.
Time is like music, it has breaks and pauses.  Every part is important.  Try listening to a podcast without pauses… its tiring and annoying.
Time is also like surfing.  It comes and goes.  Prepare for the big wave by maximizing your spare moments.
WAITING TIME is the most important time.  Its your:
– Quiet time

– Processing time

– “Leave the results” to God time

– Cocoon time (preparation for your big break)

What you do in your spare time determines your skills.

Your spare time reveals what you really like in life.  That’s where unguarded moments go.

You do things you really love in your spare time.
Drummers and musicians, golfers, basketball players knows this.  They grab every opportunity to maximize the spare time.  They practice.  They do personal training in those time boxes.

What can we do?

– Decide in advance what you really want to achieve

– Prepare mini activities that can fit 20 – 30 minute gaps (like reading, rudiments, mini speeches, post its with lines for notes, calls to important people etc..)

– Be aware of your goals and your schedule.

– Manage your energy.  “Time management is energy management”  Jack Groppel.

Be VERY careful then how you live, not as unwise but as wise!
