A few years ago, I sat in my car outside the house, watching my wife through the front window as she cooked, cleaned, and tried to manage all four of our kids alone. I had just come home from another long day at my store. I remember gripping the steering wheel, overwhelmed with guilt. She was in the trenches while I was chasing a dream that was draining both of us.
I thought I was being a provider.
But what I really was… was absent.
That moment marked a shift in me. I realized I had to stop giving all of my time to things that weren’t giving life back to my home. That was the beginning of me understanding time not just as something you use—but something you steward.
Time is one of the most overlooked currencies in life. While most people are taught to focus on money, we often miss that how we spend our time determines the quality of our life, our relationships, and even our spiritual growth. There are three quadrants of time that everyone should learn to recognize and steward well.
🔹 1. Doing Things That Require All of Your Time
This is where most people live—a space of constant motion and exhaustion. You’re cooking, cleaning, commuting, working a 9-to-5, taking kids to appointments, folding laundry, and barely keeping up. The world, religion, family expectations, and even some parts of traditional church culture have trained our subconscious minds to believe that busyness equals productivity.
But the truth is doing everything yourself will drain you and delay your destiny.
I learned this lesson the hard way. Over 20 years ago, I had a clothing store while my wife was home raising four kids. She was overwhelmed, and I was blind to how much pressure she was under. My business took all of my time, and though I thought I was “providing,” I was actually missing the moments that mattered most.
Something inside of me finally said:
“You need to start doing things that require less of your time and more of your wisdom.”
That revelation changed everything.
🔹 2. Doing Things That Require Less of Your Time
This is the beginning of leverage and growth. It’s the quadrant where you set up systems, outsource, delegate, and empower others to help you create and circulate value. It’s not about being lazy—it’s about being wise.
I started reading Think and Grow Rich and Business at the Speed of Thought. Those books sparked a mindset shift. I left my storefront business and began selling music online. Suddenly, I was home more. I was helping with the kids. I was growing as a man, a husband, and a father.
This pivot became the foundation of my e-commerce success and the beginning of building a lifestyle that served both my family and my future.
🔹 3. Doing Things That Require None of Your Time
This is the highest level of time mastery—when you use your time not just for work or money, but for relational value. Because at the end of the day, how you treat others is the most important currency you’ll ever carry.
You can’t say you respect God but continually disrespect His image in others.
The right people are the greatest investment you will ever make. Use your time to esteem others better than yourself. Meditate day and night on how to add value, speak life, and carry love and kindness to a higher level. Don’t just look for people to help you work—look for people to pour into. Look for people to hire, not just for tasks, but so you can invest in their gifts and help unlock their destiny.
The way you invest in your mind will determine the value of your time.
And the way you use your time will determine the quality of your life.
Time is a tool, but people are the treasure.
🔁 Final Thought
Your mind is naturally trained to do everything alone, but your future depends on doing less by yourself and more with vision. Time is not just something to manage; it’s something to master.
If you want to become a God-sized giant in the earth, you must start thinking in systems, honoring your time, and investing in what brings rest, rhythm, and reward.
Let God redeem your time because when He does, you won’t just do more.
You’ll become more.
