Prioritization & Why It Matters

5/26/2021

So, we're all busy. But you already knew that.

And being BUSY doesn't necessarily mean being PRODUCTIVE. Or PROFITABLE.

Many of us have a task list that is overwhelming to look at. So how do we prioritize?

I believe that it is helpful for us to ask ourselves the following questions:

- Is this task aligned with my mission and vision?
- Is this task aligned with my values?
- What kind of impact is this task going to make on my business, my job, and/or my life?
- Do I feel that this task is leading me in the right direction?
- Is this task worth my time?
- How important is this task?
- When does this task need to be completed by (if ever)?

Answering these questions can help us evaluate our task list, and prioritize accordingly!

Taking Action

We have a lot of ideas. We often talk about them. But how often do we actually TAKE ACTION on them?

Taking action sounds obvious, yet so many of us fail to do it. And we wonder why our lives haven't changed. Or aren't in the place we'd like them to be in.

Taking action is a crucial part of success -- it's the execution phase of the plan. And it's totally necessary in taking us from where we are to where we want to be.

Are you an action taker or a bystander?

Affirmations & Visualizations

The idea of using affirmations and visualizations to speed up the goal achievement process is something I have encountered through reading and learning about the topic.

Much information I have absorbed recommends setting a specific, measurable goal and setting a date, on or before which it will be achieved.

The idea of affirming oneself with positive statements, in the present tense, on how one will be feeling after the goal has been completed, is often recommended to be either written, spoken, or both, once or twice a day -- usually at morning/night.

The process of visualizing the scenario of what having accomplished your goal will look, feel, taste, smell, etc. like -- tying in as many senses as possible -- has been proven to be influential in the goal achievement process. There are variations on the process of creating the visualization -- writing out the story, speaking it out loud, imagining it, or a combination of these elements. Regardless of the method enacted, doing this has been proven to have powerful effects.

When both affirmations and visualizations are combined, in conjunction with a specific, measurable goal, research has shown that synergistically positive results ensue in most cases. My understanding is that this is because these processes work together to access the subconscious mind and provide it with instructions. And it appears that the subconscious mind, when given clear instructions, is quite good at following directions.

Do you have any experience with this? If so, please leave a comment and let me know!
