Posted on by • 0 Comments

Years ago I played one-on-one basketball with a youth pastor at the church I attended.  We usually played 3 or 4 times each week.  Each game went to 20 points; first one to win four games was that day’s winner.

You’d even have time left over to have fun and do what you wanted to in the evenings. Life was good. These days, it’s nothing like that.

These days, you’re lucky to get half the things done that are on your daily to-do list. You’re really struggling. You’re super unproductive. Your to-do list is passing you by and you aren’t sure what to do about it.

Put a Plan In Place
