Chrystal Hurst says your calendar doesn't lie about what you value. If you claim you don't have time for God, family, or health, you haven't actually decided they matter. Schedule your priorities or they won't happen.

You want your life to look like something different than what it's looked like in the past. What are you going to do differently? Everything is not equally important, and if you don't decide what matters most, life will decide for you. When we say, I don't have time, often what that really means though is I haven't decided this matters enough. So when we think about priorities, your calendar is going to reveal your real value because we'll say, you know, God is first, family matters, our health matters, rest matters, Purpose matters, but then our schedules say we react, we scroll, we consume, we overcommit. We are all about people pleasing. Your life is shaped less by your intentions and more by your decisions and routines. And often what gets scheduled is what gets multiplied. If you don't plan, you're not going to have the outcome that you desire. And I don't mean planning where you plan or program every 5 minutes of your day. I'm just saying you have to decide where your intentions fit.
