One way to deal with the danger of being too busy it to have checkpoints. If you go X number of days without doing _______, you’re too busy. If you spent less than Y minutes doing _______ last week, you’re too busy. And if you can’t remember the last time you and your wife _______ then you’re way too busy!
These check points need to include all the important aspects of your life, including your walk with the Lord, your relationship with your wife, time with your kids, getting enough recreation, and how much fellowship you have. Also include health issues such as sleep, exercise, and time to eat healthy. Fast food a couple of times a month is one thing, eating it on the run most days is a warning.
It’s easy to lose track when you get busy. You may be aware some things are overdue, but don’t realise how long it has been. If you’re serious about not doing too much, make a list of checkpoints and go through it from time to time. Even better, make a list of check points with your wife, and hold each other accountable.
