Prioritization isn't a "nice to have" it's necessary.
Our "resources" are limited...
Time. Energy. Tangible things too. All of these resources have one thing in common...they are finite. Fact.
Prioritization isn't a "nice to have" it's necessary.
In case you're wondering...I'm bumping up against the prioritization thing too. I'm pretty sure we all do from time to time.
Can you relate?
The clock's ticking, right now, end of year biz stuff, holiday prep, book editing** and I’m doing what I need to do to keep all of the balls in the air…
I want to acknowledge that you too may also be feeling this way. Not with the same things as me of course but with your own stuff. Maybe a family health issue, some last minute business deadlines, or an unexpected thing that's come up where you're being pulled in multiple directions. No matter what it is, something's come along that's just been added to you're already full "to do" list. Ugh.
Here are some reminders for you...
It's okay to stop and gather your focus... Take a look at your to do list and make some calls. Ask yourself:
What can I delegate?
What can I put on the backburner temporarily?
What can I scratch off permanently?
Is this mine to do or am I doing it because I always have?
It's also okay to phone it in sometimes...
"Phoning it in" doesn't mean you don't give a s**t, it means that you know where your attention is required, your priorities, your non-negotiables.
Prioritization.
One of the ways to prioritize is to look at your resources and assess...
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
Let's look at the following finite resources.
Time:
Truly a no-brainer. You only have 24 hours in a day.
What if you had a finite daily budget and you had to pay every time you gave your time to someone or something?
Would you be more selective with your time?
Energy:
Hard to measure until you're all out of it and that's not where you want to get to.
Check in with yourself right now, yes now. How would you rate your current energy level on a scale of 1 - 10?
Is it where you want it to be?
Tangible things:
It's easy to get caught up in the season of "giving".
Before you tap that card again...is it worth it?
Remember January comes really quickly.
When you pull back and prioritize...you get perspective.
What are your non-negotiables for where you're spending your time, energy and tangibles?
You can't do it all...
