Someone asked me recently, “Are you being faithful with your time?” It made me stop and reflect. I honestly had to give myself an 8 out of 10. We all strive to make the most of our time—whether it’s nurturing our faith, strengthening family bonds, or advancing our careers. But the reality is, distractions are everywhere, constantly vying for our attention.
The question then becomes: how do we prioritize what truly matters? How do we “keep the main thing the main thing”?
The answer is simple: intention and accountability. It won’t happen by accident. We must make conscious choices in each moment, aligning our actions with our values and goals. As leaders, we understand the power of intention. It’s the driving force behind every successful endeavor. But intention alone is not enough. We also need accountability.
Accountability is the engine that drives us to follow through on our intentions. It’s about having systems and support in place to keep us on track. For me, that means working with a coach and using tools like a weekly review process. This process involves reflecting on key areas of my life—faith, fitness, finances, family, habits, and learning—asking myself tough questions and identifying areas for improvement. This structured reflection helps me stay focused on what matters most and make necessary adjustments.
This isn’t about achieving perfection; it’s about continuous improvement. It’s about recognizing that time is our most precious resource and making a conscious effort to use it wisely.
So, I ask you: how are you managing your time? Are you being intentional with each moment? What systems of accountability do you have in place?
If you’re looking for support in developing greater intention and accountability in your life, I’m here to help.
