Prioritization
By Megan & Wanja
“We realize our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time; it is basically a problem of priorities. We confess, We have left undone those things that ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.” - Charles E. Hummel
You will NEVER accomplish anything in life!
As harsh as that statement is, it is the honest truth. Life is a crazy roller coaster. There's always tasks to do, things to take care of, and road bumps ahead. Being able to prioritize and decide which things come first will help you right now and ahead.
"The key is not to prioritize whats on your schedule, but to schedule your prioritise" - Stephen R. Covey
WHAT DO U WANT
Big Boulders First
The big rocks are the most important items in your life such as your family, religion, or education. Pebbles are smaller, less important things in your life. For example a pebble would be watching TV. Sand is not important at all, it is so small and insignificant to your life and goals. An example of sand could be a fight with your sibling. You need to prioritize the rocks, pebbles, and sand in your life so you do not waste away like a molding bag of bread. If you do not want to be feed to the birds, PRIORITIZE.
"Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for you. Establish your priorities and go to work." -H.L. Hunt
TIPS
Alphabetize! Alphabetize! Alphabetize!
Learn to alphabetize which tasks are MORE important. Which ones do you really need to get done first. Make a list from A to D or A to the tasks you need to accomplish that day.
Upcoming Tests?
If you have upcoming tests, make it your priority to study for it two days in advance. What if you have multiple tests in one week? Prioritize which ones you will be taking first.
Homework
Decide what homework needs to be done first. Do it then. Do it sooner. Get it out of the way.
