2018-09-17 - 7:49 p.m. Let’s prioritise. Create your own to-do-list. First things first. See how it works. Hold on a sec. First things first? Which one(s)? How do we know the one(s) we prioritise deserve to be the first? Things can get really tricky when you (feel you) have so much to do, but with so little time. What happens if there are other people demanding to be our ‘first things first’? There are some factors or elements that may help you to determine which is which. This isn’t always a rigid right or wrong. A plenty of things below can change your idea on what should be prioritised: 1. Their importance. 2. The deadline. 3. Their level of ‘challenges’. “Do the easiest first.” 4. The potential reward(s) at the end. However, sometimes you must learn when to say ‘no’ and not feel bad about doing so. If people can do that to you and get away with it, why not? Think about the reward(s). Consider your energy. Sometimes it’s okay to put yourself first. It’s not always selfish. Screw those who think otherwise. If you feel or think (or even both) that it’s worth it, then go ahead and do it. If you hesitate – even for just a second, then it’s okay to back out. 5. Your own ability to prioritse and stay firm with your choices. So, which ones are your ‘first things first’? How willing are you to stick to your original plans or just roll with it? May these five (5) factors help you to decide better. R.
