raamdev.com/2021/one-percent/#:~:text=15%20minutes%20%3D%201%25%20of%20your%20day

You’ve just worked hard for 3% of your day.
45 minutes.
– Are you owning and making the most of the 3% of your day that you’re investing in with F3?
– If this is one of the hardest things you do all day, what does the other 97% look like?

We just worked hard over 3 consecutive 1% time periods (15 minutes).

15 minutes is just 1% of your day. Here’s a neat formula I’ve heard over the years on how to maximize just 1% of your day, every day.
– Silence for 5 minutes
– The world is loud. Cultivate a rhythm or unplugged silence.
– Reflect for 5 minutes
– What’s going on up there (head) and in here (heart)? Cultivate a rhythm of reflection.
– Pray for 5 minutes
– Prayer is plugging into the source of life by talking with God. Cultivate a rhythm of conversation with your Creator.

COUNT: 6
We covered some new ground in the cross park area, and knocked out about 3.7 miles in the process.

My oldest daughter will be turning 18 in two weeks, and we are trying to maximize our time with her before she moves out and goes to college.

Make time now, make memories, do things with your loved ones, because you will blink and they will be grown and out of the house!

COT:
Recently our community has suffered some tragic losses of life. Specifically two young guys. I wonder what a word of encouragement would have meant to them. Be aware of opportunities to encourage others and do it. It could make all the difference. Also reach out to someone and tell them you love them.
