Thinking About Sermon Prep Time

I just read where Ed Young Jr. wrote that a pastor should spend at least 70% of his week preparing for Sunday message.  Well, considering that on average I speak at least three times a week at home (twice on Sunday and mid-week) not counting outside preaching engagements, I’m just wondering how to get 210% [...]
