I don’t know any babies going around with a list of priorities. Why do adults need them?
We can get a lot done by trying. Whether it’s sales, tennis or cooking, when we show up and do our best, things get done.
And so, we get greedy. More impact, more sales, more results, less time, less money, less effort.
As we seek to do more with less, we discover that powering through is simply not enough.
We get stressed. Day after day, this compounds to a long-term feeling of coming up short. And so we run even faster, squeezing water out of rock. And finally, our body goes to a stop.
Prioritising is taking a hard look at our lists of desires. And deciding what is more important than the other, in this moment, season and month.
Ranking our desires.
The next time we are running short, we can look at this list of priorities and know what’s next.
Not run faster in circles.
