194 - 5 Productivity Pro Tips For Pastors with Casey Cease

Take a week and track your tasks. Write down every task and how long each one takes you. This will help you see how you are spending your time, and where can cut out or better prioritize your tasks.

Pass off low level tasks. Even though these tasks are important, if they are filling up too much of your time and keeping you from tasks that only you can do, then delegate these tasks. Prioritize your tasks and pass on the things that can be accomplished by someone else.

Turn off notifications on your phone. Constantly receiving notifications places you in a reactive position, where you're constantly 'just texting' or 'just replying.' Instead turn off your notifications and plan to check your email or social media at a set time for a designated amount of time. This puts you in control of how much time and attention each platform is absorbing.
