What should be Prioritized

Admit it. You want to put the right things first in your life and business. Oh, but the joy that comes from checking boxes off the to-do list, feels so good. Am I right? What should be prioritized in your life and business? The good news is that you get to decide.

What should be prioritized

Here’s the big secret. You need to determine what will always get your yes. That is how you determine what is a priority and what needs to be a no.

I love, love, love personal development. Podcasts, books, YouTube videos give me all the personal development.

In fact, one of my guilty pleasures is watching YouTube videos on anything in my perception that will make me a better person. My binge list includes productivity, time management, mindfulness, living a minimal life, cleaning (yep I like to watch videos on cleaning hacks), the list goes on and on.

My point is that personal development is on my list of priorities, however, it does not come before my husband, children, my faith, my business.

On A Ladder

In the book, Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance, Christy Wright talks about how most of us see our priorities on all one level. She sees it as a pyramid. It’s funny because I see my own priorities on a vertical ladder or steps. The more important it is in my life the higher on the ladder it climbs.

How do you view your priorities? Are they all on the same playing level or do you have a hierarchy?

If you do not have a hierarchy I encourage you to come up with what should be prioritized. When you do this it makes it much easier to know what needs to get your “yes” and what needs to get your “no”.

Do you need help with finding balance in your life and business? I’d welcome you to apply to work with me. Here is a link to my Life and Success Coaching inquiry form.
