Everyone has a to do list. Some keep it on paper, some electronic, some keep it in their head. It’s a list that has all the things you feel you need to get done. It could be short or long. It may even be filled with items that you think you should do, things you want to do, or things you may get to eventually. My husband often laughs at my to do list as it often starts with “Get Up” and appears as never ending.
My to do list isn’t the same as my priorities. I’ve learned that some people get confused about this or think that they are the same thing. My priorities are the what is most important to me. Sometimes our priorities get lost in the daily minutia of our lives or compete with our to do lists.
I’ve learned that it’s important to identify what your priorities are and to use them as guideposts for your to do list.
