How do you know if you’re too busy?
Is it when you can’t find enough minutes to see your friends or go food shopping? Is it when you’re so tired but you still have reading to do and so you have to force yourself to stay up?
And if you are too busy, how do you know what not to do? Is earning money so you can eat more important than serving people? Is doing well at uni more important than earning money? Is this committee more of an urgency than that committee? Is it more important to see your friends or to rest?
It’s not hard to know what I enjoy least. It’s not hard to know that also, maybe I’m a bit lazy and could be more productive with my time. It’s hard to know what God thinks. It’s hard to say no and it’s so hard not to let people down.
Hmmm….

I wish I could give you some sage advice here, but I’m as crap at this as you are!!
Just make sure you do rest and see friends, at the end of the day, I would put health and relationships above all else.
Keep being awesome!

I found a book by Tim Chester, “The Busy Christian’s Guide to Busyness” an extremely good and liberating look at what God does say about time and how we use it.
I don’t often heartily recommend books other than God’s Word but this one actually gave me the go-ahead to change quite a number of my priorities and how I use the time God has given me.
Hope you’re well…
