How to increase your productivity in one simple step

In September, I found myself asking myself a series of questions

I know you’re thinking “Such as?”

Well…

Like: "What is it that makes me the most happy, and how can I incorporate that into my life on more of a daily basis?"

But that was very much at the beginning of the month

I think that anybody who knows me well, knows that I love traveling

Yes, it's because I get to experience different cultures and spend time with the people that I love and eat delicious food and all of that sort of jazz

C) Physical capacity

The ability to perform a variety of physical tasks

In the wake of such trying times, we run the risk of running low in one or more of these capacities

Which will then have knock-on effects on our ability to walk in purpose because…

As the saying goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup” and this is really clearly illustrated in 2nd Kings 4:1-7

in which the woman literally took empty vessels, poured oil into them until they were full and then distributed the oil for profit.

2nd Timothy 2:21 says that we are “vessels of honour” so, like the widow did with hers, we need to make sure to fill ourselves up before we pour out to others. Here are 20 ways that I have been doing that this week:

Apart from the typical advice of praying and reading the Bible, in between, work, I have been doing one or more of the following each day:
