REDEEMING YOUR TIME

In his newest book, Raynor guides readers through seven time management principles from the life of Christ and their corresponding practices to develop a holistic operating system for our everyday life. The book will include sidebars, charts and full-page illustrations for readers to further help understand and execute each principle.

In a world filled with more resources for time management and work-life balance than ever before, many of us still find productivity and equilibrium just out of reach. That's because productivity and time management products focus on individual features rather than a holistic operating system for life, fixating on small pieces of a larger puzzle. Separately, each piece is useful, but if they're not integrated, we're left feeling frustrated, falling short of our full potential. Additionally, most time management solutions fail to take into account how the author of time—God—managed his resources when he came to earth in the person of Jesus Christ and faced many of the same human constraints we face today.

The Seven Principles:
• Start with the Word: Find meaningful connection with the author of time daily
• Let Your Yes Be Yes: Accept only the commitments you can fulfill
• Dissent from the Kingdom of Noise: Create room for silence, stillness, and reflection
• Decide What Matters: Confidently prioritize your commitments
• Accept Your Unipresence: Focus on one important thing at a time
• Embrace Productive Rest: Live the God-designed rhythms of rest which are productive for our goals and souls
• Eliminate All Hurry: Embrace productive busyness while ruthlessly eliminating hurry from our lives

By embracing this dynamic integration of life management practices and Jesus's teachings, readers will be focused, productive, and intentional—fully equipped to do their most exceptional work for glory of God and the good of others.
