Practicing my Prioritization

Training Tuesday

So this priority thing is hard.

I struggle.

I bargain with myself.

I succumb to scrolling through social media.

I get all sorts of things done while practicing 'productive procrastination'.

I came across this quote a while ago and have started reframing the questions....It goes something like this...

I don't want to do xyz....

Ok, is it because you don't want to do it or is it because it's not really a priority?

If the answer is: It's a priority, but I don't want to do it, I usually end up having the 'suck it up buttercup' conversation and do it, or schedule it.

If the answer is: It's not a priority, I've started asking myself if it is something I can cut out.

Most of us have too much stuff on our plate. Me included.

What I've found is that I've started to 'just do' those things that need to be done. Because mentally, I know they are a priority.

I've found myself watching the clock to see how much I can get done before that 11am reminder goes off so I can train.

Because I've started prioritizing my training, it is becoming a reinforcer for doing all the other stuff (computer work or book work) that must be done when you run a business (or three).

How is your prioritization practice coming along?
