Priorities and Time
Priorities and time are two concepts that go hand in
hand. They sometimes work together and
other times not. As a married, father of
4, full-time employee, full-time student, soccer coach, and active LDS member I
have come to understand the importance of priorities and the value of time. Priorities are abundant and time—obviously,
is not. In fact, in many situations I
find others around me trying to prioritize my priorities for me, which is
somewhat of a paradox. Having limited
time and often-unlimited list of priorities or responsibilities I have found a
couple of things that have worked for me:
1. Identify what is
important to you and allow that to direct your prioritization.
We should all have a “short list” of things that are most
important to us. For me, my wife and
kids are what I value most in this life.
Yes, I enjoy snow skiing, I like being with friends, I would love to
spend time training to run a marathon, but right now many of those activities
do not occur as frequently as I would like.
Understanding the time and season of life improves my perspective and
allows me to allocate my time efficiently right now.
2. Do your best.
At the end of the day, all you can do is your best. If you put forth a sincere effort each day to
setting daily (even hourly) goals and accomplish them, your best will get
better. You will still come up short,
but as long as you efforts are directed by your core fundamental priorities you
will be able to go to bed each night knowing you have given it your all.
