I get it. You have 101 things on your list and everything is important.
I can’t tell you if your system or strategy work is more important.
I can’t tell you which of your vendor issues is more important.
But I can tell you this.
Prioritizing isn’t hard. Making a decision is.
There will be plenty of days when ten tasks top your to-do list.
Expectations, deadlines, or projects CAN be equally important.
But I want to offer you this.
**Whatever priority you choose is the right one.**
In fact, there is only ONE wrong decision.
Sitting in indecision.
Indecisiveness is going in circles or rewriting your to-do list over and over again.
Indecisiveness is reprocessing information or catastrophizing the consequences.
Indecisiveness is jumping from one project or task or client to another within minutes.
Indecisiveness is putting in a little effort across a lot of things, so you feel productive even though nothing gets crossed off the list.
That’s what indecision feels like. It keeps you spinning instead of making significant progress.
It robs you of confidence and makes you believe that you don’t know how to prioritize.
But you do.
When it comes to prioritizing, trust yourself to make the right decision.
Remember, whatever priority you choose is the right one.
It’s the one you’ll be deliberate about and make significant progress on before moving to the next thing on your list.
That is how you prioritize when everything is important.
You make a decision and you stick with it.
When you do that you see results. You feel successful. You increase joy.
Don’t let your brain make it more complicated than it is.
Prioritizing REALLY is that simple.
