Welcome to the SLS Time Awareness Survey!

This survey helps you reflect honestly on your relationship with time, so you can grow as a leader who is intentional, purposeful, and aligned with God’s call.

For each statement, rate how often it applies to you:

1 = Almost never
2 = Rarely
3 = Sometimes
4 = Often
5 = Almost always

Be sure to answer honestly. Both your strengths and struggles matter!

85–100: Time-Wise and Mission-Minded

You lead with the rare combination of wisdom and a mission-focused approach. You are tuned in to God's calling, today’s priorities, and tomorrow’s impact. Just remember: even top leaders need to guard against quiet procrastination on long-term goals.

You understand that time is not something to own or hoard. It is the framework through which you steward the true gift: the life God has given you. As a leader, you prioritize wisely, stay attuned to what matters, and walk with clarity and faithfulness.

Psalm 90:12 reminds us that wisdom comes not from managing the clock, but from discerning how to align each hour with God’s purpose.

Leadership Check: Even when you’re leading well day-to-day, make sure you’re not quietly procrastinating on your biggest dreams or long-term goals. Are there visionary projects, dreams, or steps of obedience that you’ve been postponing? Transformative leadership doesn't just require maintaining your schedule; it also requires making progress on what God has called you to do.

Encouragement: Celebrate the rhythms you’ve cultivated, but also pause to review: Where is God asking you to stretch, push forward, or build? Keep listening, refining, and daring to step into the next level of your leadership purpose.

 

70–84: Driven by Purpose, But Prone to Drift

You’re on the right path and you have a strong sense of direction, but distractions, delays, or perfectionism may throw you off course.

There’s room to strengthen how you steward your life’s measured moments. You know that great leadership isn’t based on trying to control time or people. It's grounded in managing yourself wisely within the framework of God’s purpose. Still, you may slip into habits like overcommitment, short-term busyness, or delayed focus on the deeper work God is calling you to do.

Psalm 90:12 teaches that wisdom comes when you seek divine insight about your priorities, not just what’s urgent, but what’s eternally significant.

Leadership Check:  Are you avoiding long-term leadership goals, strategic projects, or faith-based risks because they feel overwhelming or far away? Procrastination can be sneaky, showing up not just in laziness but also in distraction and avoidance. So, refocus and let the Holy Spirit steady your pace.

Encouragement: This week, identify one leadership action or decision you’ve been deferring. Invite the Holy Spirit to help you take one small, forward-moving step. Growth happens not just by refining your daily habits, but by courageously stepping into the bigger purpose God has prepared.

 

55–69: Hustling, But Not Flowing

You are aware that life’s moments matter, but you may often get caught in patterns that distort how you steward them.

As a leader, you’re doing a lot, but not always moving in rhythm with your purpose. You may feel pulled in many directions, caught between immediate demands and the weight of dreams and goals left on the back burner. You might be stuck in reaction mode, letting distractions, pressures, or procrastination derail your deeper calling.

Psalm 90:12 invites you to pause and ask God for wisdom, not just to handle today’s tasks, but to align your whole leadership journey with His greater plan.

Leadership Check:  Where have you been avoiding or postponing important leadership moves, conversations, dreams, or commitments? Are you waiting for the “perfect” time to obey God’s promptings or take that courageous next step? It's time to trade constant motion for intentional momentum and reconnect with what truly matters.

Encouragement: This is a moment to reset, not by fixing everything overnight, but by realigning your heart. Choose one meaningful action this week that moves you from delay to purpose. Remember, you are not just managing a schedule; you are stewarding a God-given mission.

 

Below 55: RED ALERT – Leader in Time Crisis!

You’ve lost connection to the clarity, structure, focus, and discipline needed for your leadership to flourish. This is a wake-up call!... not to shame you, but to invite you back into alignment with your leadership calling.

Right now, you may feel overwhelmed, scattered, or disconnected from the deeper purpose God has set before you. Without realizing it, you may have fallen into cycles of procrastination, perfectionism, or distraction, not only delaying tasks and dreams but also postponing the very work God is inviting you to carry forward.

Psalm 90:12 urges us to seek wisdom so we can steward the measured days of our life, not because time itself is our possession, but because our life’s purpose is a sacred trust.

Leadership Check: You are a leader. God has entrusted you with influence, vision, and calling. Where are you shrinking back or deferring progress? Where do you need to surrender control and take faithful, courageous action today? This is your moment to pause, reset, and realign with your divine assignment. 

Encouragement: Don’t try to overhaul everything at once. Start by naming one key area or goal where you sense God’s nudge, and commit to one small, obedient step this week. You are NOT behind. You are NOT disqualified. You are simply being called forward, into renewed alignment, trust, and discipline.
