MISSIONARY SCHEDULE

Purposes:
1. Be more productive.
2. Set more inspired goals and plan more effectively.
3. Be healthier.
4. Better use your agency to make righteous decisions about how to best spend
your time (and thereby better prepare for your future).

Principles to follow:
• Have a default schedule. Minimize the changes from day to day. Both
companions have a responsibility to make sure each part of the schedule is
accomplished each day.
• Companions should follow the same schedule. (Remember other principles,
such as staying within sight and sound of your companion.)
• Do not use prime proselyting time for studies or meetings (district meetings,
weekly planning, language study, etc.).
• Arise at 6:30 am with your companion.
• Retire to bed between 9:30 – 10:30 pm at the same time as your companion
at a time mutually agreed upon. In a 4-man apartment, be sensitive to the
schedule of the other companionship.
• Finish dinner by 6:00 pm.
• Language study time is 60 minutes.
• Be wise with your time, minimize traveling back and forth.
• Focus on key indicators.
• Emphasize dooseki lessons.
• Continue striving for meaningful SOS contacts.
