Michael McKinley over at the 9Marks blog has posted about something God is showing him about procrastination and his ministry. I always appreciate McKinley's thoughtful and honest approach:
"But recently I've come to grips with the fact that my procrastination
does not serve well the people I lead. It works out OK for my sermons
since my family has learned to adjust to my way of doing things
(yikes... I don't like the way that sounds). But I notice that large
administrative tasks that I must address as the pastor (e.g., the
church budget) often get done at the last minute, with unnecessary
stress to people who are more organized and scheduled than I am."
In response, he points readers to a series of posts by CJ Mahaney about productivity and procrastination. I had missed these posts, so I'm grateful that Michael passed on these links, which I join Michael in commending to you.
