When you haphazardly decide how to spend your time, you will not only choose to pursue tasks that do not best advance what matters most, you will also have fewer resources left for the things that do.
Your to do list is an amazingly powerful tool for keeping your mental, emotional, and other resources focused on what is most important. When you write down all your ideas and organize them as described in the life plan, you will put the best resources towards what matters most.
Multiple times throughout each day, you should find yourself recognizing and taking advantage of opportunities to choose tasks of a higher priority. As you adopt this practice, you stand to gain massive increases in productivity through thinking about and actively selecting activities of greater importance than what you would otherwise do.
Great confidence, peace, and productivity are available for those who learn to navigate each day based on an intentional, well-reasoned prioritization. When you order your life by priority and intentionally direct your efforts to the highest impact, you feel zero stress or anxiety about what you don’t quite get to. You know and choose to prefer what is more important, and in achieving what is most important, you will have and feel more and better than you otherwise would.
