Your Calendar and Your Family

Your calendar says a lot about you. I’ve heard it said that, you can look at someone’s checkbook register (now, I guess that would be their online bank statement) and their calendar and have a good indication of their priorities and goals. It’s hard to say if that’s 100% true or not, but it certainly is a decent indication

So, today’s post asks a really simply question: does your calendar show that your family is a priority?

How often have you found yourself saying, “We just don’t have time to go on a date anymore?”

Have you put it on the calendar?

“We would do a family devotional, but there’s just no time.”

Stick it on the calendar.

“I don’t remember the last time I took the kids out for a fun afternoon.”

Guess what the answer is!

So, what does your calendar say about you and your family? How about we start filling our calendars with our priorities first, and letting other things take what’s left, instead of the other way around.

Tomorrow, I plan on showing you what I’m trying to do with Google Calendar this year to make it my all-in-one tool for scheduling stuff and getting a lot more done.

QUESTION: What are some things you try to put on your calendar, so your family gets the best of your time?
