Welcome

Hello friend, and welcome to my corner of the internet.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope your time here feels peaceful, encouraging, and worthwhile. Grab a cup of tea or coffee, settle in, and enjoy this quiet space. I am truly delighted to have you here.

A Little About Me

I’m Biyai Garricks, a writer, spoken word poet, and founder of – The 6Eleven Life, with a deep love for God and His Word.

I enjoy quiet moments in God’s presence, thoughtful conversations, creating memories with my family, books that stir the heart, warm cups of tea, and building spaces that encourage reflection, growth, and deeper faith.

Over the years, writing, poetry, and teaching have become some of the ways I express what God continues to teach me personally through everyday life and my walk with Him.

The Heart Behind This Space

One of my deepest desires is to use the gifts God has given me to encourage others to grow in the knowledge of Him daily through Scripture, prayer, reflection, and intentional time in His presence.

This space was created to gently point hearts back to God, one quiet step at a time.

Whether through writing, poetry, conversations, or resources, my hope is that you leave here feeling encouraged to draw closer to God in your everyday life.

Start with your priorities before you start with your tasks
How to stay organized and keep God at the center of your life
Have you ever reached the end of a busy working day and realised that you answered the emails, attended the meetings, met the deadlines, remembered what everybody else needed from you and somehow still struggled to make meaningful space for God? Not because you don't love Him or because your faith isn't important to you, but because when life becomes full, the things shouting the loudest tend to receive our attention first. In Part 7 of the Building a God-Centred Career Mini-Series, we're getting very practical about how to organise a busy work life in a way that helps us keep God, rest, family and the things that genuinely matter from continually being pushed aside by whatever feels most urgent. This isn't about squeezing more productivity into an already full life or creating a perfect Christian routine. It is about becoming more intentional with the time, attention and responsibilities God has entrusted to us. In this video, we talk about: • why being busy doesn't automatically mean you're doing something wrong • starting with your priorities before starting with your task list • bringing your calendar and responsibilities to God in prayer • intentionally creating space for prayer, Scripture and spiritual rhythms • using digital calendars, reminders, planners and other organisational tools wisely • why you don't need to keep everything you're carrying inside your head • creating a simple weekly reset to prepare for the week ahead • building margin into busy working days • distinguishing between what feels urgent and what is genuinely important • learning when to remove, postpone, delegate or say no to something • allowing your organisational system to serve your life rather than control it • and creating sustainable rhythms that can adapt when real life doesn't follow the plan This is Part 7 of the Building a God-Centred Career Mini-Series here on The 6Eleven Life, with one final conversation still to come. ________________________________________ THE GENTLE RESET If you are rebuilding your rhythm with God and would like something simple to guide you each day, you can explore The Gentle Reset resources: The Gentle Reset Ultimate Bundle: https://selar.com/9zlew011kp The Gentle Reset 21-Day Devotional Guide: https://selar.com/p72b77771v The Gentle Reset Prayer Companion: https://selar.com/230e366b21 The Gentle Reset Scripture Anchor Collection: https://selar.com/mo23881gd1 The Gentle Reset Reflection Companion: https://selar.com/y0707lkb65 These resources are designed to help you reconnect with God and build steady, sustainable rhythms with Him in a way that fits into everyday life. ________________________________________ HELPFUL LINKS Listen to Season 3 of The 6Eleven Life Podcast — Returning to the Beginning: Bible Stories with Biyai: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlyYFhlVYCUe5m-UdL57n6k-Bo4PGnk9I&si=dpXvDhPdTytJx_dE Read The 6Eleven Life Blog: https://biyaigarricks.com/category/blog/ Download your FREE Beginner's Bible Study Guide: https://biyaigarricks.co/category/free-library/ Visit my website: https://biyaigarricks.com/ Visit The 6Eleven Life Store on Etsy: https://6elevenstore.etsy.com Shop my Journals, Planners & Notebooks on Amazon: https://amazon.com/author/biyai ________________________________________ If this video encouraged you, I'd love to hear from you: What makes staying organised most difficult for you when work and life become busy? Is it trying to remember everything, an overcrowded calendar, constant notifications, struggling to maintain your spiritual routines, saying yes to too many things, or simply not knowing where to begin when everything feels important? And what practical tool helps you most? A physical planner, digital calendar, reminders, a weekly reset, or something completely different? Share what works for you in the comments because your simple organisational habit may help someone else create a little more breathing room in their own life.
