Time Management: A Biblical Perspective

Time Management: A Biblical Perspective
Summary:
Time is one of the most valuable resources God has entrusted to us, and how we manage it reflects our priorities and faithfulness. The Bible teaches that time is fleeting (Psalm 90:12) and that we are called to use it wisely (Ephesians 5:15-16), making the most of every opportunity. Poor time management—whether through procrastination, distraction, or overcommitment—can hinder our spiritual growth and effectiveness. Jesus modeled intentional time management by balancing work, rest, and prayer (Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16). Biblical time management is not about mere productivity but about aligning our time with God’s purposes, ensuring that our days reflect His will and calling in our lives.

Two bad time habits:
1. No schedules: I make an excuse for myself saying I’m a “certain” way and that I can’t follow it even if I were to make a schedule.
2. No accountability: As long as I get my job done, my environment doesn’t necessarily tails after me to pick up after myself.
Aside from these, a lot of things do change our fixed routines and physically exhausts me so it’s hard to keep up.
Solutions:
Having accountability via this community and my friends, making the much needed schedule using digital calendars to remind me every now and then.
Having the right mindset i.e. the want to change and not treating it as something we ‘have’ to follow through.

Bad time habit: Sleeping late. I wake up before 5 on most days for an early morning prayer meeting. I need to sleep earlier (say 10 instead of 11 or 11:30) to make sure my mornings are happier and more energetic.
Habit I want to create: Making lots of time for others. I want to make more opportunities to connect and share the gospel. My goal is to have 1 interpersonal activity every day, online or offline.

My two bad time habits
1. Screen time as a form of reward: I used screen time as a reward in the past so even after a hectic work day, I can’t put my device down because I have been telling myself I deserve it.
2. Sleeping around 5 hours daily: When I was younger older folks around me would say that those who love to sleep are lazy and I didn’t want to be known as a lazy person so I took pride in working hard and sleeping less also ended up having productivity anxiety in college. Anyway, now I know better, rest is crucial to perform well. I am trying but it’s challenging to reset the old belief system, even though I no longer ‘believe’ in the old values, my brain needs some time and consistent efforts.
What I have started doing to break these habits:
1. Turn off data right after work so complete my cooking, cleaning and quiet time first. If I don’t do it, I end up scrolling.
2. Stop using device right after family prayer and online Bible studies.
3. Read more instead of using social media when I cannot sleep.
4. Follow my new schedule consistently.
5. Reshape and renew my belief systems through the word of God and Godly counsel.
