Not enough time

USA Today consulted the advice of experts from various fields to chart how much time was needed for the daily necessities of life. If you did everything the experts said you were supposed to do for as long as they said you should, here is what you would be doing. 

You should sleep for 7.5 hours, exercise for 30 minutes, spend 45 minutes for personal grooming, allow 1 hour for cooking and eating, spend 1 to 2 hours for housekeeping and chores, work 7 to 10 hours, grocery shop for about 20 minutes. 

The USA Today article also contained expert advice on how much time to spend with children, with your spouse, commuting, reading, and other daily activities. USA Today counted up all the minutes needed for our daily task and it came to 42 hours! 

Obviously, no one has that much time in a day so what do we do? We prioritize to get done what needs to be done. “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:15-16)

The most important matter in our lives is our relationship with God, but many never find enough time to fit God in. Don’t make that mistake. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
