Eccl. 8:⁶ (GN)“There is a right time and a right way to do everything but we know so little.” [with emphasis]

There is a right time and a right place to do everything. Do not waste your time and do not waste your energy. There are a few things that we need to know about time and energy. The first is that Time is finite and a constant. Energy, even though finite is a variable. You have twenty-four hours in a day and you have the same amount of energy. If you exercise and eat healthy, your energy level can increase but it is still finite in a day. Time however cannot be increased.

The second thing you need to know is that while time is linear and cannot be concentrated, energy fluctuates and can be concentrated.

These things I am sharing with you are huge and I did not get this from any book. Understanding this will empower you to achieve a lot in twenty-four hours while everyone else is scrambling for time and energy. So, please take notes and I do not mean just mental notes. Write this down in your journal and on a post it note, then position it where you will see it consistently.

The next thing you need to know is that increase in energy given in the same amount of time will lead to increased productivity. Energy fluctuates, right? Let us say I have eight hours to work and I am able to concentrate my energy for the entire eight hours being highly productive. Afterwards, I most probably will be tired and flat out because I have exhausted my energy. I can decide to relax for the rest of the day or go play tennis. Other people may see me and conclude that I do not do anything. But the reality is that I have poured my energy into what matters most and, at the end of the day, my level of productivity will be undeniable. I hope you are getting it.

When we talk about energy, it is important to note that we are not referring to physical energy alone. That is just one component; there are four components to energy – physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy, and spiritual energy. Sometimes, you are strong physically but mentally exhausted. Sometimes, even when you are charged up mentally and physically, you lack the emotional energy to manage the relationships to drive teamwork.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me build capacity physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so that I will function optimally at all times, in Jesus Name. Amen!
