Prioritize Your Time In A Simple Way

Do you dream about . . .

· breathing space in your calendar and not being in back-to-back meetings?
· time to focus on your own work during the day?
· feeling on top of things at work and at home (and not feeling guilty about saying no)?

I get it! These are the very things I used to dream about (and still come up at times) -- to simply feel in control of my day.

It's challenging to figure out where to focus your time and attention when you have so many competing demands coming at you.

But when everything feels urgent and important, everything seems equal.

The thing is, everything is NOT equal!

You are active and busy, but this alone doesn’t move you any closer to your goals or who you want to be as a leader. And it's stressful!

So, while it’s tempting to *try* to do everything, it’s a way more effective and sane approach to focus your time and attention.

Get to the heart of things that matter. Be clear on your real priorities at work and at home. Everything changes then.

Less, but better.

This means ignoring all the things you could be doing. To focus instead on what will move the needle.

To say no a whole lot more so you can say yes to what matters more.

Besides, you only have so much time and energy, and when you spread yourself out, you spread yourself thin.

Now, you might buy into the idea that less is better, but where to start?

Listen to this video for how to prioritize your time in a simple and effective way.

I've used this approach for prioritizing projects in my corporate career, my weekly to-do list for business, and even what to do in the evening with the kids. Let's keep things simple!

Everyone has the same number of hours in a day, you get to decide how to spend them!

You've got this.
