Time and Wisdom

I’ve been noticing that I have a problem with managing my time. As Christians, this seems to be even more important. The Apostle Paul tells us to:

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” - Ephesians 5:15-17 (ESV)

I also read that Moses said:

“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” - Psalm 90:12

Learning to number our days, in Psalms, has the connotation of learning to manage our time, just as making the best use of our time, in Ephesians, does, and both of these verses connect with the idea of wisdom and being wise.

So I’m looking to learn how to manage my time better; rather, not "my" time, but the time the Lord has given me here on earth, that it may have eternal consequences.

How do you, as a Christian, manage your time? Is there any particular system or method that you use?
