DISCIPLINE IS THE KEY

The most effective, timesaving, and rewarding way to lighten your study load is to acquire good study habits.
Harry Emerson Fosdick states: “No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.

I. Things you need to work on to become better disciplined.

1. Daily work on neatness. Find a place for everything, and start putting everything in its place. Don't ever
set anything down except in its "spot."

2. Start making a list of the things you must do that day. Check items off as you go.

3. Set a time limit for each job; stick to that job until the time is up. Don't go "rabbit chasing."

4. If you are frequently late, try to analyze the reasons. Do you start too late without allowing any time for
emergencies? Are you subtly rebelling against some authority in your life? Perhaps you need to set your
watch five minutes early, get up 15 minutes earlier, and allow an extra five minutes for every
appointment.

5. If you tend to be too hasty in making decisions, slow down. Pray, seek wisdom, make a list of the pros
and cons, get Godly counsel on important decision, wait on God.

6. If you are easily tempted to do wrong, claim I Corinthians 10:13 and start resisting Satan.

7. If you find you are too changeable in your interests, goals, etc., realize that this is a sign of immaturity
and ask God to help you become more consistent.

8. Learn to keep accurate records of finances, assignments, etc.

II. What does discipline Require?

1. Goal setting: Define your short term, medium, and long range targets. Realistic attainable goals give
direction and motivation. Without them, much in life is wasted. You will find yourself doing a little of
this and a little of that and hardly accomplishing anything.
a. Lifetime goals- These are goals that you set for eternity. "Don't sacrifice the permanent on the altar of
the immediate," said Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. Take time to write down your lifetime goals, what you hope to
have accomplished when you stand before Christ. These are your ULTIMATE goals, the ones that give
meaning to all the rest of your goals. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and
all these things [material needs- food, clothing, housing, etc.] shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33,
see also Mark 8:35; Colossians 3:1-3). "He that doeth the will of God abideth forever" (I John 2:17).

b. Long-term goals- These are goals you hope to achieve in five years or more. Examples of these would
be "to graduate from college," "to buy a house," or to write a book."

c. Short-term or "becoming" goals- These are things that you want to accomplish within a few months-
"to learn to play 25 hymns," "to read three books aloud to my children," or "to saveP500.00 toward a
new Bible."

6 TEACHERS COPY
ORIENTATION

d. Daily (or weekly goals) - These are the everyday things you choose to do. They are frequently based
on immediate values, especially meeting physical needs. Far too often we as Christians are living only
on the level of satisfying today's needs. We want immediate gratification, "instant" happiness, "get rich
quick" schemes, and easy tasks.

Note: To live worthwhile, rewarding lives, all of the last three goals or values must be attached to the
first, the ULTIMATE goal in our life- to know the will of God and to do it every day. Our ultimate goals
are our "skyhook" ones that give meaning to all our other choices.

e. Some thoughts on setting goals

1. A goal should be achievable (reasonable).

2. A goal should be controllable, not dependent upon what someone else does.

3. A goal should be measurable, specific enough to know you've done it.

4. A goal should be stated without alternatives.

5. A goal should be conceivable (related to being specific).

6. A goal should be helpful and desirable to those involved.

7. A goal should help me grow.

8. A goal should somehow be hooked to my ultimate goal- to glorify Christ.

f. Note the following points given by Mrs. Jessie Sandberg regarding common sense and the will of God.

1. God rarely moves out the bounds of that which is reasonable and logical.

2. God never has one do wrong in order to do right.

3. God's will does not move outside of courtesy and respect for the rights of others.

g. Be conscious of the pitfalls in making decisions.

1. Don't make decisions on the basis of money. (Gen. 13:10)

2. Don't make decisions on the basis of being comfortable.

3. Don't make decisions on the basis of popular opinion or the world.

4. Don't make decisions by default.

5. Don't make decisions on the basis of the immediate.

7 TEACHERS COPY
ORIENTATION

6. Don't make decisions without consideration and study.

7. Don't make decisions primarily on the basis of "feeling."

III. Striving towards excellence. After setting goals within the limits of your interests and abilities, work at
them. Work is doing. It requires time and effort. For work to be rewarding, you must strive for excellence.
Always give your best.

Excellence is not perfection. Nothing is perfect. To strive for excellence means to develop fully what you
already have- your intellectual, emotional, moral, social, physical, and spiritual potentials. To strive for
excellence requires making the best choices, giving all you can, and improving on every task and decision.

10 time management tips that work

Chances are good that, at some time in your life, you've taken a time-management class, read about it in books,
and tried to use an electronic or paper-based day planner to organize, prioritize and schedule your day. "Why,
with this knowledge and these gadgets," you may ask, "do I still feel like I can't get everything done I need to?"

The answer is simple. Everything you ever learned about managing time is a complete waste of time because it
doesn't work.

Before you can even begin to manage time, you must learn what time is. A dictionary defines time as "the point
or period at which things occur." Put simply, time is when stuff happens.

There are two types of time: clock time and real time. In clock time, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes
in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. All time passes equally. When someone turns 50, they are
exactly 50 years old, no more or no less.

In real time, all time is relative. Time flies or drags depending on what you're doing. Two hours at the department
of motor vehicles can feel like 12 years. And yet our 12-year-old children seem to have grown up in only two
hours.

Which time describes the world in which you really live, real time or clock time?

The reason time-management gadgets and systems don't work is that these systems are designed to manage clock
time. Clock time is irrelevant. You don't live in or even have access to clock time. You live in real time, a world
in which all time flies when you are having fun or drags when you are doing your taxes.

The good news is that real time is mental. It exists between your ears. You create it. Anything you create, you
can manage. It's time to remove any self-sabotage or self-limitation you have around "not having enough time,"
or today not being "the right time" to start a business or manage your current business properly.

There are only three ways to spend time: thoughts, conversations and actions. Regardless of the type of business
you own, your work will be composed of those three items.

As an entrepreneur, you may be frequently interrupted or pulled in different directions. While you cannot
eliminate interruptions, you do get a say on how much time you will spend on them and how much time you will
spend on the thoughts, conversations and actions that will lead you to success.

18 TEACHERS COPY
ORIENTATION

Practice the following techniques to become the master of your own time:

Tip 1:

Carry a schedule and record all your thoughts, conversations and activities for a week. This will help you
understand how much you can get done during the course of a day and where your precious moments are going.
You'll see how much time is actually spent producing results and how much time is wasted on unproductive
thoughts, conversations and actions.

Tip 2:

Any activity or conversation that's important to your success should have a time assigned to it. To-do lists get
longer and longer to the point where they're unworkable. Appointment books work. Schedule appointments with
yourself and create time blocks for high-priority thoughts, conversations, and actions. Schedule when they will
begin and end. Have the discipline to keep these appointments.

Tip 3:

Plan to spend at least 50 percent of your time engaged in the thoughts, activities and conversations that produce
most of your results.

Tip 4:

Schedule time for interruptions. Plan time to be pulled away from what you're doing. Take, for instance, the
concept of having "office hours." Isn't "office hours" another way of saying "planned interruptions?"

Tip 5:

Take the first 30 minutes of every day to plan your day. Don't start your day until you complete your time plan.
The most important time of your day is the time you schedule to schedule time.

Tip 6:

Take five minutes before every call and task to decide what result you want to attain. This will help you know
what success looks like before you start. And it will also slow time down. Take five minutes after each call and
activity to determine whether your desired result was achieved. If not, what was missing? How do you put what's
missing in your next call or activity?

Tip 7:

Put up a "Do not disturb" sign when you absolutely have to get work done.

Tip 8:

Practice not answering the phone just because it's ringing and e-mails just because they show up. Disconnect
instant messaging.

19 TEACHERS COPY
ORIENTATION

Tip 9:

Don't instantly give people your attention unless it's absolutely crucial in your business to offer an immediate
human response. Instead, schedule a time to answer email and return phone calls.

Tip 10:

Block out other distractions like Facebook and other forms of social media unless you use these tools to generate
business.

Remember that it's impossible to get everything done. Also remember that odds are good that 20 percent of your
thoughts, conversations and activities produce 80 percent of your results.
