Listen "Two The Point Episode 5: Guarding Your Calendar Pt. 2"
Episode Synopsis
In a culture of "more is better," where our calendars are overflowing and our minds are never at rest, we've bought into the lie that busyness equals significance. More activities, more commitments, more events—it all just adds up to more anxiety. But what if there was a better way?We'll explore the profound truth of Psalm 90:12: "So teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom." This isn't about productivity hacks or time-management tricks; it's about a deeper, spiritual perspective on how we spend our lives.In this episode, we'll dive into practical and spiritual ways to be intentional with our time, find rest in the rhythm of life, and say "no" to the things that steal our joy. We'll get a heart of wisdom by learning to see our days as a precious gift, not an endless to-do list.If you're tired of the pressure to do it all and ready to find freedom in a more intentional life, then it's time to start guarding your calendar. Tune in and get a heart of wisdom.Check out this complete list of tips for a developing your family's calendar:1. Start with Priorities, Not Activities – Decide together on non-negotiables like worship, family meals, rest, and margin before filling the calendar.2. Block, Don’t Just List – Schedule time for family dinners, game nights, and quiet evenings just like practices or meetings.3. Establish Weekly Rhythms – Set anchor points like a weekly family meal, a 15-minute Sunday meeting to reset, and a Sabbath or screen-free block.4. Protect Margin – Keep white space for rest and connection. For every evening out, protect the next evening in.5. Rotate Meaningful Activities – Instead of doing everything every week, rotate options like hikes, game nights, service projects, or dinners with friends.6. Involve Everyone – Let each family member have a say, choosing an activity for the week or month.7. Use Visuals – Keep a shared family calendar (digital or wall) and color-code it so everyone can see balance at a glance.8. Build Routines Around Connection – Create small habits like no phones at dinner, praying together at bedtime, or sharing “highs and lows” in the car.
