Topic: Setting your priorities Right [Friday April 10, 2015]
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” – Luke 14:28
Our day is clouded up with various activities; from official work duties, house chores, visits, phone calls to outings, virtually every day is filled with activities. There are times when you feel the day is coming to an end and the important things have been left undone. You’re not sure how it went by so fast and can’t put a finger on what you accomplished. These are times when we most feel stressed out.
To avoid this, you need to learn how to rightly set your priorities. Everyone needs a to-do list; where you draft out your plans for the day ahead of time, with a time frame alongside. This is a draft that helps you plan, so you don’t have to engage in wasteful labour, or end up forgetting to do what’s most important.
In this list, you need to write down from the most important to the least important, what is to be done. Take into consideration unplanned circumstances, but do not dwell on them. This will help you watch against time theft and at the close of the day, when you eventually lay on your bed to sleep, you would be proud of your achievements.
Every successful venture starts with appropriate and productive planning. This keeps you organised and helps you keep track on how well you have done for the day. So, before you start out your day or better yet before you go to sleep for the night, take your note pad and jot down all you plan to do the next day. At the end of the day, you can then go through your list and check how you faired. I know your labours, from now on, will be much more productive.
Remain Blessed!
