When you know what you want to do, consider why that is. Is getting out of debt the first step to financial freedom? Will having dinner each night with your spouse keep you emotionally connected? Would being promoted be a step in advancing your career? These end goals are your priorities. Once you recognize what your priorities are, put them in order. Physically write them down, so when it comes time to make a decision between them, you know what you should choose. Remember that while your priorities may be divided between different parts of your life, they are not disconnected. There is no right or wrong answer to the order of your priorities. Don’t let someone else dictate what you feel should be important. Finally, let everything else fall away. It can be tempting to take on those old burdens when you feel like you’re managing everything well. If an activity does not support your priorities, don’t let it take up your time. The key to managing your priorities is not letting yourself be too ambitious. You cannot do everything. Nobody can. But you can do what you truly want and be happier for it. WHAT MATTERS MOST How to Get Your Priorities in Order

Think about your to-do list. How many things are you trying to accomplish every day? Do you usually manage to finish them all? If not, is everything on your list really that important? Trying to handle too many responsibilities only leads to stress and failure. The way to regain control of your life is to determine what your priorities are and how to achieve them. First, take a step back. Imagine yourself 10 years from now. What decisions should you be making today that you will be happy with in a decade? Do you want to get out of debt? Spend time with your spouse? Get that promotion?
