What does it mean?

Quick Tip:
Identify time-zappers. For one week, take note of when you're wasting time, then go back and think about how to imporve your time-management. Do you spend precious time in the morning hunting for your keys? Put a small basket or box by the front door. Do you get sidetracked by emails every few minutes? Limit yourself to checking facebook, blogs, and emails.
My time zapper is TV in the evenings after I put the kids to bed. Last year I commited to the Lord to watch only 1 hour total of TV per day. I did really good for a long time but there were days that I watched 2 shows instead of one and thought well yesterday I didn't watch anything so I get 2 hours today....right? Well, it isn't really about the amount as much as the commitment that I made to the Lord.
So this year I'm back to 1 hour of TV per evening. It allows me to read more and spend time on things that are more important. What are your time zappers?
