Summary
Manage your time the way Jesus managed his with a biblical antidote to swamped to-do lists and hurried schedules。
"A highly practical road map。"--Mark Batterson， New York Times bestselling author and lead pastor of National Community Church
Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance， the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach。 The reason for our struggle is that productivity and time-management systems focus on individual habits rather than more meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes。 But as it turns out， there is a better way to reach our full potential。
We don't need just another approach to changing our habits。 What we need is an operating system that takes into account the full scope of our lives。 In these pages， bestselling author Jordan Raynor presents this system， using seven powerful time- management principles drawn from the example of how Jesus lived:
1。 Start with the Word: Find meaningful connection with the author of time daily。
2。 Let Your Yes Be Yes: Accept only the commitments you can fulfill。
3。 Dissent from the Kingdom of Noise: Create room for silence， stillness， and reflection。
4。 Prioritize Your Yeses: Confidently maintain your commitments。
5。 Accept Your "Unipresence" Focus on one important thing at a time。
6。 Embrace Productive Rest: Live the God-designed rhythms of rest which are productive for our goals and souls。
7。 Eliminate All Hurry: Embrace productive busyness while ruthlessly eliminating hurry from our lives。
With these principles， you'll see how Jesus managed his time on earth and how he responded to human constraints much like the ones you face today。 More than that， you'll discover corresponding practices that will help you embrace the best， most Christlike version of yourself possible: purposeful， present， and wildly productive。

Absolute game changer！ For anyone looking to rein in the chaos that is their day， this book is a must read。 Not only does Jordan show you practical ways to make use of every single minute that we have during our day， but he ties each and everyone of them back to our ultimate redeemer that we have in Jesus Christ。 I can't recommend this book enough。 Absolute game changer！ For anyone looking to rein in the chaos that is their day， this book is a must read。 Not only does Jordan show you practical ways to make use of every single minute that we have during our day， but he ties each and everyone of them back to our ultimate redeemer that we have in Jesus Christ。 I can't recommend this book enough。 。。。more

This is without a doubt， the best book I have read on productivity in as long as I can remember。 Today， more than ever， it is far too easy and too common to lose ourselves in our busy schedules， to become overwhelmed and stressed so much that we lose sleep， become disorganized， and can cause use to get LESS work done rather than more as a result。 If you can see this problem in your own life， this book is for you。 Raynor tells us that the solution to our struggle with time management is found in This is without a doubt， the best book I have read on productivity in as long as I can remember。 Today， more than ever， it is far too easy and too common to lose ourselves in our busy schedules， to become overwhelmed and stressed so much that we lose sleep， become disorganized， and can cause use to get LESS work done rather than more as a result。 If you can see this problem in your own life， this book is for you。 Raynor tells us that the solution to our struggle with time management is found in Jesus Christ。 Raynor provides a wonderful frame and a perfect layout that flows seamlessly; Raynor takes a humble and refreshing approach， removing us from the center and putting God in His rightful place。 Including 7 biblical principles inspired by Jesus’ time on earth and 32 practices that will reshape your lifeWhile reading this book I found it impossible to keep myself from sharing ideas with friends and family， pausing my reading to deeply reflect， and starting to implement these strategies right away。 With so many options for self=help books and books on productivity in general it is refreshing to feel the calling to use this book before I even finished it。 This book is more than practical， its inspiring and life changing; Something that is needed now more than ever by the majority of our population。 Please do yourself and your friends and family a favor and give this book a chance to change your life in the ways you're seeking， and ways that you may not even realize you're needing。 Thank you to netgalley and publisher for providing an e-copy of this book for me to read and share my honest opinion。 This book was granted to me at the perfect time and I can't wait to give a copy to everyone I know！ 。。。more

This book has been an eye opener to me and for sure on my re-read list。 There is so much to implement in my own life， so I decided that little steps toward the goal is better when applied each day！ If you are a procrastinator/ super detailed person as I am， then you have got to read it！！！！ Jordan makes it very easy to understand and incorporate into daily living。

Redeeming Your Time is answered prayer。 I'm on a journey to redeem time and live the life God created for me。 When I heard Jordan was writing a book about my biggest obstacle， I knew God heard my prayers。 The lessons in the book solidify any doubts that I can in fact achieve discipline。 When I start with the word that is God， I can work in ways he designed me for。 I will never read the gospels without realizing how Jesus managed his time while being present and at peace。 I've studied dozens of t Redeeming Your Time is answered prayer。 I'm on a journey to redeem time and live the life God created for me。 When I heard Jordan was writing a book about my biggest obstacle， I knew God heard my prayers。 The lessons in the book solidify any doubts that I can in fact achieve discipline。 When I start with the word that is God， I can work in ways he designed me for。 I will never read the gospels without realizing how Jesus managed his time while being present and at peace。 I've studied dozens of tips and listened to hours of podcasts and read how to be productive。 None have been as valuable as what Jordan has described in detail in the book。 I'm learning to win the perpetual struggle of living a wildly productive life within the constraints of finite time。 The solitude of seeking God led me to answers of how to get all the things in order。 I literally laughed out loud at certain points。 I even shed a tear or two reading how God's plans and our calling are the keys that lead to us choosing what to do for the kingdom。 I love the puzzle analogy that helps connect all the pieces for God's glory and the good of others。 Thank you Jordan for helping solve the next step in my journey to implementing the vision God gave using a functional， tactical and anxiety reducing system that ensures I am keeping my committments to Him first， then others， then myself。 I know I'm working on the right things， enjoying deep work and getting good plentiful rest。 What stuck with me most is that the author of time doesn't necessarily need me to finish everything in my to do list。 I realized that my work will continue and that future generations will benefit from it。 That's a blessing！ I've learned to let my yes be yes and my no be no。 The bonus is that those connected to me will reap benefits as well。 I've already shared some of the valuable lessons in the book with my mentorship group and they loved it！ 。。。more

Many books have tried to tackle the subject of time management and more often than not， from an efficiency perspective。 What Jordan’s latest masterpiece does is shift the focus from seeking & attaining efficiency to a better endeavor - effectiveness w/ a purpose - a God centered purpose。 Implementing the simple principles that Jordan lays out will lead you down the path of being more purposeful， present， and productive in doing the work God has called you to do to advance His kingdom here on ear Many books have tried to tackle the subject of time management and more often than not， from an efficiency perspective。 What Jordan’s latest masterpiece does is shift the focus from seeking & attaining efficiency to a better endeavor - effectiveness w/ a purpose - a God centered purpose。 Implementing the simple principles that Jordan lays out will lead you down the path of being more purposeful， present， and productive in doing the work God has called you to do to advance His kingdom here on earth。 I have already experienced a difference in how I think about， plan， and use my time since having implemented these principles that are modeled after the life and habits of the Author of Time - Jesus。 I feel more settled and less anxious about managing my time as a result of applying the techniques， routines， and habits outlined in “Redeeming Your Time”。 I echo others that this book could very well become on of the classics on the topic of “time management”。 Jordan， I think this is your best work yet！ 。。。more

Very practical and helpful to make me more productive， presented with reasons that not only make me understand but also motivated， without nullifying how difficult it is to follow all those principles （at the same time rewarding！）。 The suggested practices are backed with tons of reference from different books （incl。 the Bible） and research articles， definitely a go-to book to read if you're looking for time management principles and practices with Gospel lens。 Very practical and helpful to make me more productive， presented with reasons that not only make me understand but also motivated， without nullifying how difficult it is to follow all those principles （at the same time rewarding！）。 The suggested practices are backed with tons of reference from different books （incl。 the Bible） and research articles， definitely a go-to book to read if you're looking for time management principles and practices with Gospel lens。 。。。more

This was - by far - the best book I've read on productivity。 And trust me， I've read a lot of them。Let's start with Jordan's writing style。 In this book， he would seamlessly transition from quoting C。S。 Lewis to quoting Taylor Swift， and referencing some of the greatest theologians to referencing Hamilton or The Office。 It made this book fun to read and it made Jordan relatable， while still keeping the theology solid and the conversation productive。 Also， with his concise writing style he packed This was - by far - the best book I've read on productivity。 And trust me， I've read a lot of them。Let's start with Jordan's writing style。 In this book， he would seamlessly transition from quoting C。S。 Lewis to quoting Taylor Swift， and referencing some of the greatest theologians to referencing Hamilton or The Office。 It made this book fun to read and it made Jordan relatable， while still keeping the theology solid and the conversation productive。 Also， with his concise writing style he packed a ton of knowledge into 256 pages， so I learned a lot without having to spend hours and hours working through the book （like some others I could mention）。On to the actual content。 While most productivity books largely focus on either theory or best practices， this book effortlessly meshed the two。 Each of the seven topics covered started with their theological basis， then explained how they were scientifically valid， and ended with a list of ways to implement the idea into your life in a practical manner。The best part of this book was that， because each of the seven principles was based on Jesus' life， the priority was not 'get what you have to do done so you can go have fun。' The focus was on using your time to the best of your ability so that you can glorify God as much as possible， whether that means finishing your to-do list or postponing it to help a neighbor。 So many books prioritize what's best for you or what you want to do， and this has made me a bit uncomfortable when it comes down to implementing the practices they suggest。 Because Jordan's principles prioritize Jesus， though， I feel no hesitation doing anything he suggests。 Overall， I would highly recommend this book to everyone looking to use their time to the best of their ability。 I received this book for free from Netgalley。 All comments and opinions are entirely my own， and I am writing a voluntary review。 。。。more

Today’s most insightful and practical book on time management。 This book has it all。 A compilation of the best time management practices， from productive work to productive rest。 I personally gained a lot of insight on the topics of how to set quarterly goals， OKRs， productive sleep and rest habits。 When you learn how to work and rest well in your day to day， it minimizes the likelihood of burnout。 Yes and amen。 Will be gifted these books to many！

I recommend this book which looks first at the Biblical “why” we work to manage our time and then looks at the “how。” It seems so obvious that we learn about time Managment from the One who literally created time。 It has helped me align my belief with my behaviors。 The author， Jordan Raynor， has pulled together the best works on the topic and condensed in one book。 It’s a good book for those starting out who want to set good habits and folks like me who want to do better with our workload。

Time is finite and I waste a lot of it。 In some areas of my life I am dedicated and disciplined and have excelled at the highest levels。 Other areas leave lots of room for improvement。I will certainly be implementing the strategies outlined in this practical book。 I love how the Biblical wisdom is made clear and practically implementable。I am 100% sure that applying this wisdom to my life will assist me to become a better steward of my time。Thanks Jordan much appreciated。
