Weekend Wisdom: Choose priority over balance because when everything matters, nothing does.
When you think, “I HAVE to do this” ask yourself this very important and simple question, “Do I?” Decide if the thing is on your list just because it’s been there for so long, or because you’ve always done that thing or because other people think you should do that thing.
Before you try to get more organized, more productive or more of whatever else you think you are missing to get more done, challenge yourself to remove as many things as you can from your list. Don’t forget to let go of some of the good stuff too. Sometimes removing the pressure of doing more things is better than doing even the good things. I’m going through this process myself and discovering that I don’t have to do as much as I think.
