Time management idolatry

The second commandment is not to make and worship idols. One Bible commentator said it was easy to worship an idol: you just put it on a pedestal and expected miracles from it. This is a good description of what I sometimes do with my latest time-management technique. I find a simple pithy principle which I think has the power to transform my life and I devote to it all my time and energy. Memo to self: remember to treat any new technique as a tool and not an idol.
