About this listen

Manage your time the way Jesus managed his with a biblical antidote to swamped to-do lists and hurried schedules.

Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance, the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach. The reason for our struggle is that productivity and time-management systems focus on individual habits rather than more meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes. But as it turns out, there is a better way to reach our full potential.

We don’t need just another approach to changing our habits. What we need is an operating system that takes into account the full scope of our lives. In this audiobook, best-selling author Jordan Raynor presents this system, using seven powerful time-management principles drawn from the example of how Jesus lived:

  1. Start with the word: Find meaningful connection with the author of time daily.
  2. Let your yes be yes: Accept only the commitments you can fulfill.
  3. Dissent from the Kingdom of Noise: Create room for silence, stillness, and reflection.
  4. Prioritize your yeses: Confidently maintain your commitments.
  5. Accept your “unipresence”: Focus on one important thing at a time.
  6. Embrace productive rest: Live the God-designed rhythms of rest which are productive for our goals and souls.
  7. Eliminate all hurry: Embrace productive busyness while ruthlessly eliminating hurry from our lives.

With these principles, you’ll see how Jesus managed his time on Earth and how he responded to human constraints much like the ones you face today. More than that, you’ll discover corresponding practices that will help you embrace the best, most Christlike version of yourself possible: purposeful, present, and wildly productive.

Critic reviews

“Mixing the theological and the tactical, Jordan Raynor offers a deeply original and practical take on time management, busyness, and the human urge toward living meaningfully.” (Cal Newport, New York Times best-selling author of Deep Work)

“As Christ followers, we need to approach time management and productivity through a theological and worshipful lens. Jordan serves us well by leading the way.” (Ruth Chou Simons, best-selling author of Beholding and Becoming and GraceLaced)

“Jordan Raynor’s paradigm of purpose, presence, and productivity is excellent. But learning it from Jesus? That’s the magic.” (John Mark Comer, best-selling author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry)

I’ve never read a book that ties together time management / productivity principles with the gospel. In the past, I’ve often gone back and forth between the two and felt like what I learned to be productive was the opposite of what I learned to be faithful. This book finally closed the gap for me and connected how the gospel speaks into all those things. Amazing read and life changing. Thank you so much!

Time management with the gospel in mind

I really got Alot of this book. My only complaint is that I wish it was more of a general focus of time and not so much about work as I struggle to manage my time outside of. but the tools, tips and insights could be applied outside of work but I'm not sure if I can schedule blocks of "deep work" outside work hours where I'm managing time with my family. again fantastic book. I just wish there were more non work examples of how to redeem your time.

This book is incredibly practical and actually gives you the tools to redeem your time in this digital age of distraction. Very thought out and an incredibly sound theology on work! I highly recommend this book to everyone!

One of the most helpful books I’ve read

I have to go through it again, there was so much to capture. Definitely adopted a CTS and it has been working wonders, less headaches worrying about what I’m forgetting. Sometimes I get a little anxious when I see the “to-do” items without date and times but I have to remember I’m taking this in phases. Very grateful for this book. Jordan is a great narrator by the way, I wouldn’t mind listening to books by other authors but narrated by him. God bless you Jordan! See you on the podcast!

Life Changing!

Great practical types and biblical tie-ins

Very helpful in putting practical steps together for managing time and energy overall, allowing me to be more effective and balance work, family, and life with Christ at the center. By taking a more practical approach to His parables and how He lived His life, along with examples from other people throughout history, it offered quite a different perspective compared to any “self-help” book.

As a composer, I don’t use the word “masterpiece” lightly. But this book truly deserves the title—it reads like a beautifully crafted symphony. Every detail is thoughtfully planned, carefully structured, and masterfully executed. The balance of challenge and encouragement is both intentional and compassionate. Most importantly, this book is deeply rooted in biblical truth and the gospel, making it a must-read for all Christians who desire to achieve great things for God’s Kingdom and steward their time well. Jordan, thank you for your obedience to the Lord in co-creating this remarkable work. It’s a masterpiece that feels as much like a piece of art as it is a guide for life.

A Masterpiece

I was unable to put this book down. I have been struggling for years with the lack of discipline/productivity and tried to find a system that worked in the modern context. After listening to this book I feel free and confident to take the next step of my journey. Over the next few days I will be setting up my system. I have already recommended this book to family and friends. WOW! Absolutely Revolutionary!

As someone in the business of helping people find delight in their time rather than be mastered by it, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Rediscovering best practices to help you maximize your God-given time is always helpful because we’re always recalibrating where and how we are using it. Jordan provides a variety of helpful steps you can implement in real time that equip you to become a better steward of your time in your work and personal life.
