“I’ve come to realize that, as long as what’s crucial is getting done, I don’t have to worry about the rest.”
I completely agree. Now, in middle age, I value time more. And I value tasks less. This might not make sense to folks who haven’t arrived at this age and wisdom yet, but there is freedom and happiness in letting go.
I now highlight 1-3 priorities each day in my bujo. Usually there is only 1. If I cross those off my list nothing else matters. Any remaining tasks go onto tomorrow’s list. In this way, everything eventually gets done in its own proper time.
I once had a career where 12-20 work tasks were a priority in my everyday life. I was very successful, but the rest of my world suffered. I corrected that a few years ago and have never been happier! 😊
Yes! Opal! After reading Essentialism and The One Thing, I had a complete mindset shift about priorities. Did you know that priority is not a word that's supposed to be plural? There can only be one, or it doesn't make sense. I do something similar in my bujo. I'm wondering, would you like to share your method with my readers in a guest post? I'm sure they'd find it valuable!
