How to waste time

When I started up here at the church over two years ago, I started doing little things to see if people liked them. They did, so I kept doing them. And that has become the problem.

I kept doing them. Instead of moving these things of my plate as quickly as possible, I took the ownership of them too seriously. And as theses various "small" things multiplied, they started eating up more of my weekly time.

So, I'm divesting myself of anything that I specifically don't have to do. That will free mw up to do more of what I really want to do.

The recent introduction of a third worship service (monthly for now) has been a success story. I've been working with a team of people who wanted to do this, and I am already working to transition my planning role to the team. Now I just have to figure out how to do that in other areas.
