I love pastors. I love to encourage pastors. And, it’s Biblical. (Ephesians 4:29 – or something like that.). Seriously, I’m a pastor. And, I work with pastors everyday.

There is a fundamental tension between productivity and creativity, and managers won’t get more of the latter until they recognize it. Productive people move through the tasks they have to accomplish in a systematic way. They make steady and measurable progress toward their goals. They make effective and efficient use of their time.
