Time is short. But it’s not too short to fulfill our calling. Psalm 139 shows we have enough time, but there's not a moment to waste.

It's been a year since I deleted all of my social media accounts. Here are 9 lessons I've learned since leaving the platforms:

1. I should have done this sooner
2. Convenience is a vice, not a valid excuse.
3. When you limit options for procrastination, you procrastinate less.
4. When you tune out you’re not missing out, you’re gaining perspective.
5. Leisure with other people is harder but more fulfilling.
6. Boredom is the space where creativity happens. But nowadays boredom must be fought for.
7. Massive results come from massive change, not tiny tweaks.
8. Business growth is fueled by extreme focus.
9. You can’t effectively steward your life with a divided focus.

10.

It's a New Year. Maybe you're feeling excited, maybe you're nervous, or maybe you're so busy you don't have time to know how you're feeling. But if you are a Christian, you can approach the New Year—with all its goals and trials—with confidence.

Tiny pockets of time—5, 10, 15 minutes—add up. Redeeming the pockets of time means not wasting them but employing them well to serve Christ, love our neighbors, and steward these lives for the glory of God.
