Get back to work! Those are four of the most powerful words available to people who want to accomplish great things for God.
We often fail to produce, both in the workplace and at home because of little breaks that become long breaks. It simply takes us too long to “get back to work.”
One way to avoid that is to develop the habit of saying, “back to work.” When a co-worker stops you in the hallway to ask a work related question, but then begins to gossip, politely respond, “We’ll I’d better get back to work.” Remember, people with nothing to do, will often try to do it with you.
At home, parents can use the phrase “Back to work!” to signal an end to leisure and a call to chores. The college student can tell himself “back to work” to get out of the kitchen and back to the library.
Try it on yourself right now. Get back to work and redeem the time.
