Understanding Priority…
Its said, there is no such thing as “No time”…. its only What’s Priority! ….
So when people actually say … i dont have time, it truly means … Sorry buddy, your stuff is not priority for me at this time, hence it was delayed or even ignored. As per Google, Priority is defined as “the fact or condition of being regarded or treated as more important than others.”
Priority could relate to tasks, things to do, studies and even persons. For example, my loved ones are given the highest priority in everything, even if its just dinner over any other matter. Coz for me, time spent with them generates “value” in my life. Hence i realised, Priority generates value. Question to ask -” What truly is the value of the time spent for that specific task, role or moment with anyone” .. Will that value make you rich or grow in any attribute? (financial, emotional, health etc etc).. Hence Time to me, is what priorities that is running your life right now.
But the biggest weakness to this is procrastination.
Procrastination can truly kill your priorities and the actual sense of time being wasted comes to reality. Google defines Procrastination as “the action of delaying or postponing something”. But i will add the word “intentionally” … Here you are aware of your priorities, your roles, your todos .. but the fact that we “intentionally” delay to do basically non-valued items to fill this grey area, overides our priorities and ultimately the value generated from that time lost.
I will leave this note, with just one thing. Only you, yourself has the power to define priority or loose yourself to procrastination. Pick yourself up and make that impact. Call friends or family and do physical things that will make a difference in your priorities and ultimately making a positive returns to the value generated.
