Do you have a list of things that need to get done, but for some reason you never seem to get around to doing them? Sometimes it appears that everyone around you seems like a productivity genius\\u2026while you struggle to remember to feed the cat.

Fear not intrepid listener, you don\\u2019t have to keep staring at that same to-do list as it bullies you and taunts you with feelings of failure. In this episode we\\u2019re going to reveal the 5 Reasons You Don\\u2019t Get Things Done\\u2026and how to kick those reasons to the curb forever.

Spiritual Foundations

This week\\u2019s Scripture seems appropriate to our topic. Check out what Jesus had to say in Matthew 25:29, \\u201cTo those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.\\u201d

Ouch. That doesn\\u2019t sound like Gentle Jesus.

This Scripture comes from the Parable of the Talents. In this parable boldness is rewarded and timidity is reprimanded. In fact, Jesus actually calls the timid person a \\u201cwicked and evil servant.\\u201d

Double ouch.

Have you ever wondered why the most productive servant was richly rewarded while the timid servant had everything taken from him?

The answer lies within this episode.

Tip of the Week

Imagine that you have a bunch of charges on your debit card every month, and some of them are a total mystery to you.

Or worse, you haven\\u2019t looked at your statement in a while and you realize you\\u2019ve been paying a monthly charge for something you stopped using long ago.

If these scenarios sound familiar, I have a radical solution for you\\u2026just call in and get another debit card.

Why would I make such a suggestion? In this week\\u2019s episode I\\u2019ll tell you the story of what happened to me, and how you can learn from my mistake.
