Balancing on The Tight Rope of Life: Prioritization

Okay, so we've locked down the Organization part of finding that balance. Now the 2nd thing we'll hash out is how to actually execute those areas!!!

This comes about in the principle of Priority! Prioritizing the various areas in your life is very key if you are going to succeed at anything!!!!

Most people can get through their day without prioritizing, but the long tern effect of it all is that there was probably some effect of frustration and confusion, and that produces procrastination because everything seems so overwhelming. But prioritizing your time and day comes in handy when pursuing balance. Because lets face it...no one wants to go through their day not accomplishing the major tasks on their list nor get to the end of their life and say "I spent all my time focusing on things that didn't really matter, I should've spent more time on the things and with the people that matter the most."

Prioritizing is a GAME CHANGER for ALL Destiny Runners! WHY Because it puts you above the MAJORITY of people who are stuck in a rut trying to figure out life, purpose, and success. You would be surprised at the amount of people who literally go throughout the day being reactive rather than proactive, meaning that they respond to the problem rather than having a pre-meditated answer to the problems that they may face...but that is a different blog...back on track...

SO..You have your Life List written down somewhere, now what you have to do is start placing them in order in the sequence of Most important to not so important. The way you qualify your priorities is a few ways, here they are:
1. How will this affect my life and my family TODAY?
2. How may people are associated with THIS particular task (10s, 50s, 100s, 1000s?)
3. When and what time do I have to get this ACCOMPLISHED?
4. If I am being graded on PRODUCTION and not just BUSYNESS..what grade would I give myself?
5. WHat is the most IMPORTANT & VITAL to my position, my business, project.

A conglomerate of things go into qualifying priorities, but these should get you thikning about what is most important. I had to qualify the importance of certain tasks to the areas of my goals within my life because if I didint, I would always push something back in efforts to find the time to get to it...but the reality is that YOU'll NEVER find the time..you have to MAKE it...and Organization & Prioritization gets you started on catching your balance on the Tight Rope of Life!
