Put Your Priorities First Once And For All!
Nov 12, 2012

Being able to run a successful business, enjoy quality family time and mange a busy household is only achieved through careful planning and scheduling. This means having the ability to harness all those skills such as delegating, prioritising and organising, and using them as effectively as possible.

In this month’s Succeed, I discussed the importance of being able to say “No” when other people become demanding, resulting in your time and energy becoming diverted onto tasks that have little or no benefit to you or your business. If you find it difficult to say no, you may find it easier to focus on keeping your main priorities and key objectives in mind all the time. That way you can easily judge whether you can commit to an additional responsibility or whether committing to taking the responsibility on board will compromise your own time management, life balance and personal and/or business goals.

Whether you schedule your time daily, weekly or monthly, ensure your priorities are at the top of the list. Don’t compromise your ability to meet a deadline if you’re asked to do something else. Ensure you meet your existing commitments before taking on more.

You may think this approach could be deemed selfish. Well, it isn’t! You are simply managing your objectives and the expectations of others. If you really don’t want to say no, try to compromise on timescales – ask if something can be done later rather than straight away.

If you continue to agree to fulfill the needs of everyone else, you will constantly fire fight your way through life. This leaves very little time or energy left for you to fulfil your own goals and needs.

Start reclaiming your schedule by protecting your time! Never be afraid of addressing your own priorities and needs before you consider those of everyone else!
