Proper Stewardship

What is diligence? The basics, done well every day! Be early to work. Never miss a day. Be first to volunteer for extra duties. Ask for more to do when things are slow. Eschew breaks. Apply focused and intense output for the whole day. Do not waste or steal time for personal matters. Stay until the job is done. Be more eager to punch in than punch out. Outwork anyone else. Enjoy self-imposed stress. Work extra hard on difficult jobs. Cheerfully agree to every assignment. Set records for quantity and quality. Avoid meetings when possible. Work as if the Lord were watching, because He is!

What is slothfulness? Arrive on time or late. Use all your personal or sick days. Get a cup of coffee to get going, after punching in! Call or email on company time. Pace yourself to help a project fill up the day. Chat with others about social matters. Take full breaks. Leave on time or early. Never volunteer for extra duties. Leave projects unfinished. Think about punching out. Balance your checkbook at work. Deliberate at your desk more than you need to. Daydream. Fuss about details that sacrifice quantity of work. Think about your vacation. Work like those around you. Walk slowly. Relax. Doze.

On this day…
