Managing and prioritizing not to make good use of our time but to make the best use of our time.
We should begin by recognizing the reality that just because something is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it. The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them. Some things are better than good, and these are the things that should command priority attention in our lives.
Consider how we use our time in the choices we make in viewing television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, or reading books or magazines. Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best. We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in our Higher Power and strengthen our families and relationships.
Managing our time is essential in helping us to choose the better and best priorities in our lives.

When managing your time I have always found these two quotes to be helpful admonitions for myself!
1. Do not forget Murphy’s Law: “Nothing is as easy as it seems. Anything to be done needs more time than you think and if something can go wrong, it will go wrong.” **Of course, there are also many days where everything seems to go right, as well”**
2. “Without goals, you cannot know what to do. Without a schedule you cannot know, when to do so.”
I hope everyone learns to make the best use of their time.

This article motivates me to try to be even more effecient by doing what is best! I think the best part of this article is if you have only a certain amount of time how to prioritize that time!
