Does it feel like everything is important and needs to be taken care of? Do you need an extra hour to achieve your goals?
When l decided to join this platform, the thought of being a newbie threatened to send shivers down my spine. The shivers still came but it didn't stop me.
It's not that l didn't trust my writing skill - I know my onion. I also know that time is needed for anyone to learn the ropes but l didn't have the whole day for it. l was already involved with other activities which were taking much of my time.
Do you know how l learned the ropes amidst all other activities that were begging for my attention?
That is what this @ecotrain question of the week is all about.
I decided to do what l do best in such scenarios - outlining PRIORITIES.
Just so you know, anything that is seen as a priority is often given prior attention. The priorities we have
I tend to keep my priorities simple and they are as follows;
Personal Growth And Development:

This is something I've been doing since 2019. I often spend a lot of quality time and resources to learn and acquire skills that are connected to the life l want to live. I'm a dreamy person - so they said, but l don't want my dreams to remain a dream forever. I'm working towards making my dream a reality.
Most of the things I've been doing till today are connected to my dream and I'm happy about that. The reality is not far from my reach.
Family:

Have you ever been in a situation where you are to choose either family or any other thing? I can't speak for any other person but, Family will always get a nod as far as I'm concerned.
As destiny would have it, l was welcomed into this world as the first child in a family of five children. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my family but it didn't make me less of a family guy than any other person out there.
I always think about the effects my action would have on my family so, this thought guides all my decision making. I have them at heart in everything l do.
I'd believe that "blood is thicker than water" but the people l count as a family is not only limited to my bloodlines. I've changed people's designation from strangers to friends and then, family and l treat every one of them as such.
l won't be blabbing about how much l value my family but my action often speaks where l lack the words to do so.
Other things that book a spot in my list of priorities are;
- Spirituality
- Financial Buoyancy
- Investing In People
- Self Care
I always try to remind myself that l can't get more than 24 hours in a day. This is why l allot time to everything l do based on my priorities.
The goodnews is that l have been a better time manager since l understood the importance of setting priorities. Everyone need to seat themselves down, think deeply and outline their priorities.
