Jason Hatley on The Power of a To Do List

vpvxucowi3ado33aqozn_400x400Have you ever been so busy… so overwhelmed… so under pressure in ministry that you’ve considered quitting?

It happened to me 5 years ago, right after Nelson Searcy and I launched The Journey Church in South Florida…

At this point I had been in ministry with Nelson at The Journey for nearly 10 years. I was no stranger to busy seasons of ministry.

But something happened with the launch of this location… and I wasn’t ready for it.

After years of serving alongside Nelson where I had built good systems and a solid team of volunteers and staff for my ministry area, I was now back in a church plant with no team, no staff and A TON of good ministry to do.

The problem was… it was too much for me… or at least that’s what I thought!

I was miserable. My family was miserable. It was the closest I ever came to quitting ministry!

Then I had a talk with Nelson where I told him all about the pressure and how overwhelmed I was feeling. And then he asked me one question – he asked to see my to-do list.

I thought, “I don’t have a to-do list.” And all of a sudden it dawned on me… I’m over-stressed and overwhelmed not because my load is too heavy, but because I don’t have the right tool to get it all done.

The first thing I did after I left that meeting was write down everything that I could possibly think of that I had to do that week. I just dumped it on paper. I expected that list to be a mile long.

Only… it wasn’t.

There wasn’t as much to do as I thought. But because it wasn’t written down — because I was trying to hold it all in my mind — I lived in a constant state stress and uncertainty.

On that day almost 5 years ago, my ministry and effectiveness changed!

Now – that list wasn’t perfect . It was just a bunch of items on a sheet of paper with “To Do” written at the top. But it was the beginning of a transformation.

From there, I took that list and looked for ways to maximize it — to get more down, to relieve more stressto go home on time for dinner more nights during the week.

Power-of-a-To-Do-List-CDs-web-iconThat’s when I discovered the principles of a POWERFUL and FOCUSED to-do list.
