Time Management | My Pastoral Schedule
I am constructing my new Pastoral Office-Time Management based on my personal and ministry Values & Priorities. (This does not include my personal priorities or the priorities that I use at BAI for work). This will help three things:
1. I will be able to more clearly communicate my role at the church.
2. I will be able to more easily complete my tasks (Based largely on a Franklin Covey Plan).
3. The church will be able to more clearly see when they need to move my status from “Volunteer” (Which I have cheerfully functioned at for the last 4.3 years) to “Part-Time” and later to “Full-Time.”
So, with that said, here it is…
I have broken the list down into:
Day of the Week | Value I Fulfill | Task Associated
Monday | Covenant | 1. Event Planning & Calendaring 2. Thought of the Week 3. Recap of Sunday for the leaders. 4. Lead Team Meeting Prep 5. Visitation: Hospital, School Lunch, Morning Campus Ministry Meeting, Shut-ins 6. Follow-up Ministry: Phone Calls, Emails and Reconnecting the missing 7. Birthday Cards
Tuesday | Missional & Message | 1. Outreach (Personal & Planning) 2. Activities to bring in Community 3. Networking 4. Mission Planning 5. International Pastoral Prayer Meetings 6. Tapestry Foundation 7. HWW Development
Wednesday | Cultural | 1. Material Development: Podcasting, cd duplication, ministry & table materials developed 2. Small Group Preparation & Planning 3. Web Development: Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Broadcast, webs site and online communications.
Thursday | Creative & Family | My Day off (I will work on creative and development tools for myself & have the night off with my family).
Friday | Adoration | 1. Sermon Preparation 2. Personal Study 3. Personal Worship 4. Sunday Ministries Development 5. Send out “the Thread” (Week event updates and weekend coming activities and updates).
