Why Should We Prioritize Our Life?

in #success6 years ago
With so much going on in our lives it is easy to become overwhelmed, stressed and frustrated because of so many distractions and things we need to complete on a daily basis. This will very much be the case when you don't know how to prioritize your To-Do list by spending too much time on low priority activities and not enough on the important stuff.

The better you plan the more productive you become. Prioritizing gives you freedom, clarity and it will help build momentum in everything that you are doing.

Plan


Choose the most important goals and determine which one of them is the most beneficial to you in the long run. It is critical to spend some time to think about the goals you would like to achieve in the long run. Successful people always have a clear picture of there future goals.

They have a vision of there goals they want to achieve in 5, 10 and even 20 years down the road. They evaluate their decisions made today are consistent with the future goals they desire. Have a willingness to delay instant gratification to make sacrifices in the short term in order to gain a much greater reward in the future.

Being selective towards your goals helps you develop a habit of setting clear priorities and completing important tasks in a more organized and efficient manner. It helps you make better decisions in life, create more time and improve your decision making skills.

Whatever you are doing you should be taking massive action towards your goals. It should be serving your ultimate long term goal and purpose in some sort of way also. Time management and work ethic will set you apart from the crowd because this is how you can accomplish a great amount in the limited time you have available.

Goals are important both short term and long term. I think that it is important to put in the hard work now so that we can enjoy ourselves later. It would be great to hit 50 comfortable in life and not having to worry about money or providing for your family.
Also it's important to enjoy right now but not throw everything that you have at it.

For sure and it is essential to do that to develop the patterns you need in life. Once you do that, it always never leaves you if you continue it.

I was just writing about this in my post today about Zen meditation and how meditation naturally helps you see what you are actually doing and what things you should be prioritizing.

Yea!! I love meditation for things. Helps us have clarity and slow things down for our busy minds. Then we can break them down into steps which makes it much easier then just freaking out all over the place.

Thanks so much @soulsistashakti!

Couldn't agree more with this, thanks for sharing!!

You are right, but a trap can be hidden in too ambitious goals. If it is hard to achieve a goal, and ultimatly it isn't achieved, is it a life well spent, or a life spent chasing the impossible

Yea I agree, this is why we need short term goals that can lead up to the long term goals that we know are possible. Sometimes striving towards the unknown or impossible could be a life well spent...? It sure shows what we are made of.. :D

Spoken like a true visionary :)

Yeah this is quite true. Lots of people do focus on low priorities than the major priorities which can possibly distract them. Distraction is one thing that is almost unavoidable in life but can easily be dealt with through discipline and determination.

I love this post thanks for sharing
