What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done

the only way to be productive is to realize we don’t actually have to be productive (our goal is to please God, not appease God), and how the gospel continues to give us peace of mind even when everything is blowing up around us.
Our peace of mind must be based on other grounds — namely, the gospel.
The reason we should seek to be productive is to serve others to the glory of God, and not for the sake of personal peace and affluence.
Truth: We need to measure productivity by results, not by time spent working.
Gospel-Driven Productivity (GDP)
a life of doing good for others is actually the most exciting life, for God calls us to find ways of doing good with a sense of creativity, competence, and adventure.
We cannot be truly productive unless all our activity stems from love for God and the acknowledgment that he is sovereign over all our plans.
We become most productive by putting others first, not ourselves.
Productivity is about effectiveness first, not efficiency.
