If the previous post struck a chord with you, then let me introduce you to a great little resource. Tyranny of the Urgent
is an essay by Charles Hummel written in 1967. It addresses the issue of discerning the important from the urgent. It outlines how to go about restructuring your life in order to reflect what is truly important. It is a great reminder right at your fingertips.
You can follow the above link and purchase a 5 pack of these little booklets (small enough to fit easily into a purse!). Keep one for yourself and pass out the rest to other mamas struggling with too many projects and not enough time.

Oh ((((Amy)))) … thank you so much for posting the link & mentioning the “Tyranny of the Urgent.” A Pastor had used it in a sermon years & years ago. It spoke to my heart big time & had been coming to my mind quite frequently lately. I’d even mentioned it some where earlier this week. I’m blessed that God used you to confirm that I’m going in the right direction.

My church went through Tyranny of the Urgent several years ago as a study. It was wonderful. Because of it, I cut out a lot of superfluous fluff in my life that was getting in the way of what was important. Ya know, it wasn’t really even fluff it was volunteering and charity work, but it was causing harm to my family by taking me away from what was important.
