Week 5 Time Management

Week 5

Time Management Advice

New Life Community Church has still not had a board meeting yet this year so I kept moving on to the next assignment in the syllabus.

I interviewed Pastor John Klotz from New Life Community Church on 02/02/09 about time management boundaries. He gave me a list of things that he does to set up boundaries for himself in his schedule so his time is not controlled by others.

1. He bought a laptop so he could work outside the Church and not always be in the office

2. He tells the secretary he isn’t taking any calls for a period of time unless it is an emergency

3. He makes a list of things to do at the beginning of the week, the list includes:

- People he needs to call

- Meetings to prepare for

- People to go visit at home or in the hospital

- Other various tasks

4. Putting up post it notes as reminders of things to do

I then asked Pastor Klotz for his best two pieces of time management advice:

1. Take a class on time management

2. Find someone who is a good time manager and learn from them how to manage time well.
