What shoud I do with my time?

I am beginning to realize that I must get a hold of my time and make the most of what little I have. Between my job and volunteering at NewSpring, I don’t have a ton of time to spend pursuing other things, like a beautiful woman. Or spending time with people I haven’t seen in a very long time. Or just about anything that doesn’t involve my bed or the two previously mentioned activities.

If I am to get life accomplished in a way that is not only meaningful, but also enjoyably worth while, I need to plan better and execute even better than that. I need to use the tools in front of me (calendar, phone and online alerts) and the people that I interact with to better use my time. If I spent at least three more hours a week reading, and three more hours a week pouring into students and leaders, I would be living a very different life. If I spent less time browsing the internet after work, reading unnecessary blogs, and going to stores to look at stuff that I know I won’t buy right now, I would have more time for things that will actually benefit me. Of course I don’t want to be a scrooge and give myself no time for fun and goofing off (I need it), I just need to make sure that when I do, it is done with at least one other benefit. Like I could hang with one or some of my friends to goof off, even better if they are friends I haven’t seen in a while. Or, I could do mundane stuff with people that I want to catch up with. Who says you can’t throw a car washing party with some of your boys.

All that to say, if I don’t do better with time (and money) I won’t get to do two thing that I really want to do in the next year or two.
1. Go to Africa (Kenya, Congo, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Egypt, Mozambique or Ethiopia).
2. Go to California (Redding, LA, San Diego/Chula Vista or Wine Country)
