With 15mins a DAY

Trying this out. I need to structure my day for more productivity spiritually and in my work.
—————————-
A young man approached me and asked what he could do to increase his productivity and ultimately change his life.



This was my response:
You need the 15min switch technique.
You start here and you can end up anywhere you choose.

What’s the 15min switch technique?
Well it’s investing your first hour a day into a 15mins per 4 tasks breakdown...

Here’s how it works:
First 15mins: Read God’s Word.
Did you know if you read the Bible for just 15mins a day you’ll be done with the whole bible in about 8 months.
Just 15mins a day.

If you focused on the epistles, with just 15mins of reading daily, you could finish an epistle a week. Just 15mins.

SWITCH...


Second 15mins:
Read a book. It could be a secular book or a book of faith.
Did you know that just reading a book for 15mins daily guarantees that you will finish the average book of less that 250 pages in about a month.
Can you imagine you a non reader, reading and finishing a book a month just because of 15mins?
Come on. Now that’s doable.


SWITCH
THIRD 15mins:
You plan your day.
Where are you going?
Who are you seeing?
What should your day look like? etc.
Take it from me, if you haven’t been doing this, your days will not only feel purposeless but as though someone else is in charge of your life.
It’s a HORRIBLE feeling.

SWITCH

FINAL 15mins:
You pray.

Gratitude comes first then...
Bless your day.
Bless your family.
Speak favorable outcomes over your expectations...
Speak in tongues.

God isn’t deaf and if you have to spend forever convincing God to hear you or help you, you either need to change your god or learn more about mine.
Someone could ask if 15mins of prayer is enough.
The question is what is enough?

Truth is, if all you did was pray 15mins daily, you’ll probably be praying longer than some of the best Christians I know.

In one hour a day, you could birth the impossible.

Suffice to say that the young man in just one year of the switch technique has made spectacular shifts in his life that I feel he owes me actually.
Thought to share.
Hope it helps you as it has me.
