When you have finished all of the preview steps and read the article, answer
the following questions:

1. What notes did you take as you read, “Child of Promise” by Elder Henry B.
Eyring? Type your notes here.
It’s important to be sure we agree on the nature of the problem.
You will develop your ability to invest your precious time well by gaining three
confidences.
When you’ve got too much to do and too little time, the last thing you want is more
to add to your list. The secret is learning to invest time rather than just spending it.

2. Use your notes to identify the main points of the reading. Using phrases,
what are the main ideas from the article?
The property which we inherit from our Heavenly Father is our time, and the
power to choose in the disposition of the same. This is the real capital that is
bequeathed unto us by our Heavenly Father; all the rest is what he may be pleased
to add unto us
3. Using only your notes and NOT looking at the article, write a summary of the
reading. Remember to include the title of the article in the first sentence of
your summary. Also remember that you are summarizing the authors ideas
so you should not include your own opinion in your summary.

o “One of the most important skills in the area of time

management is the skill of properly setting and pursuing
priorities. A priority is a rating of importance. To set priorities in
your work would be to identify those items that are of most
worth or those items that carry the most importance. Very often,
the simple question ‘What is the best use of my time right now?’
is an extremely valuable tool.” (Rex W. Allred, “Personal Time
Management: One Key to a Leader’s Effectiveness,” New Era,
June 1977.)
