Bring your day timer, list or outline of how you want to spend your tune to Jesus. Ask God what He wants you to do and how much time should be spend on it. Then do as you are led. Review your list with the Lord on a periodic basis. Let your plans be changed and molded by God's leading. Don't be under condemnation if you get off the plan. Ask for forgiveness and direction from the Lord, then continue as you are led by Hun. For example, if you are not spending time in prayer, don't continue in condemnation. Ask God to forgive your sin. Then pray as God leads.
I break my weekly time management into blocks of time during the day and not hour segments. For me it works better, because I can't tell exactly how much time I need to do the task. Don't get tied up with methods, use what works.
Time management is easy. Making Jesus Lord takes a change of heart. At times I don't want to follow the Lord. God changes my heart through prayer and Scripture meditation. Giving yourself to the Lord, frees you to follow His priorities. Remember, God has your best interests in mind.

I need to go beyond what I feel when I evaluate my desires. Work, may causes me to be tired or discouraged. At times I have felt like quitting. At the same time I want to work for the Lord. I try to go beyond my feelings, and remember what God has led me to do. I never make any big decision unless I have refreshed my soul and prayed about it. The Lord will direct us day by day. "But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day." (Prov. 4:18)
God will meet your needs as you serve Him in faith. If we go by what we feel like doing it won't last. If we follow the leading of God He will order our steps day by day.
Start with a plan and go to God for His direction for revisions. Don't expect to get it right the first time. Remember if you don't do anything you only make one mistake. That mistake is the biggest of all, of not using your talent of time for the Lord. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. Learn from your mistakes.
