Prioritizing Your Priorities

What?

We're all confronted with multiple responsibilities in our daily lives. Home, work, personal and external - the balance is difficult and tricky. You will disappoint at least one person and the reason could be an unavoidable one. If you prioritized your dynamic life, don't let this affect you.

There are many ways to approach setting the right priority for your tasks, outline them in intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly). Lists, reminders, calendaring, and even asking for help (delegating) will help not only you but everyone attached to each decision you make.

Importance and reliance

Think things through and attach importance to each task. Then think if the tasks are something others rely on you completing so they can execute their responsibilities. Being mindful like this will go a long way in achieving objectives but also nurturing relationships.

Timeline

Once you've outlined your tasks and have ordered them per importance and reliance, think about the time needed to complete each one. Communicate it, calendar it and adhere to it. As new tasks come up, attach importance and reliance to the task and blend into your timeline. You won't always get 100% of your tasks done on time, but you will have visibility to why, when and how.

This will allow increase balance in your life and a decrease in stress. More #SevagSystem to come soon...
