If you’ve ever experienced stress over your personal productivity, today’s episode of The Christian Habits Podcast with Jordan Raynor will really encourage you (links below). I talk with Jordan about his book, Redeeming Your Time: 7 Biblical Principles for being Purposeful, Present and Wildly Productive. 

purposeful, present and highly productive interview with jordan raynor

What We Discussed on the Podcast

  • How this book’s advice differs from other “time management” books
  • Having peace in Jesus regardless of your productivity
  • How to centralize “open loops” with a commitment tracking system
  • Learning to accept your “uni-presence”
  • How good works are our worship in response to the gospel
  • Ideas to minimize external and internal distractions
  • How redeeming the time means that we are called to be very selective about what we say “yes” to

Resources Mentioned on the Podcast

  • Jordan’s book:  Redeeming Your Time: 7 Biblical Principles for being Purposeful, Present and Wildly Productive. 
  • Jordan’s newest book: The Word Before Work: A Monday-Through-Friday Devotional to Help You Find Eternal Purpose in Your Daily Work
  • Deep Work by Cal Newport
  • Waves of Creativity: A Gathering of Ideas on Creating with God by Alan Arnold

Notable Quotes from Jordan’s Book

“Our work matters today because it is a means of glorifying God and loving our neighbors as ourselves. But our work also matters for eternity because God can use it to build his kingdom.”

“In today’s distracted world, being fully present is one of the most valuable presents you can give.”

“Which problem, once solved, is going to make most of my other problems easier to solve or disappear entirely?”

“Opportunities that aren’t attached to some meaningful end aren’t opportunities. They are simply possibilities that stir up frantic excitement.”
