Do you feel like you’re under water? Sometimes there’s so much going on around us we become weighed down by the lack of prioritizing. All it takes is a few minutes to sit down, take a breath and make a list (yes, on paper) of all the things, large and small, you need to get done. Then put a number beside each item based on it’s level of urgency. “1” is the most urgent – don’t confuse urgent with important – some things are certainly important but they can wait a day or a week, while others are urgent and time sensitive. Then arrange your list by number and voile’, you have your priorities! Now put your list where you can refer to it and start checking things off as you accomplish them – the checking off part is it’s own kind of reward.
Don’t forget to come up for air once in a while – there’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a break between tasks… just don’t get distracted for too long. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
