Hey Dan here coming to you from 1960's Jugoslavia
and in this video I want to share a strategy for prioritizing because
it seems simple enough but if you don't do this one thing at the start no matter how
much time you spend trying to organize yourself and prioritize you're going to be doing it wrong.
This question came up on a Free Freelancer call the other night someone asked okay I know I should
prioritize, I have limited time, I have so much going on, I'm a business owner, I have a full-time
job etc but how do I actually prioritize? Like how do I decide what is more important than anything
else? And here's the one thing that you really need to do you need to decide what's actually
important to you in life. If you don't know where you want to go if you don't have that goal in mind
how can you prioritize what will get you there first what's most important to you
and so this is the first thing that you need to do and then from there it is so much easier to decide
what you should focus your time on and what you shouldn't now I say this like some pro sitting
here but for years and years I struggled with this because like many ENFPs I wasn't exactly sure
what I wanted I wanted to keep my options open and I still do too to some extent but I didn't
have a vision of what I wanted in life so how could I make a decision like if you
don't know what you're trying to accomplish how can you make a good decision if you think about
health if you're someone who's into fitness if you're trying to lose weight you would eat
a very different diet than if you're trying to gain muscle so if you don't know what you want
how could you decide what to eat in the first place right so on the same coaching call we were
talking about mental energy and decision making and one of the things I mentioned is that I don't
have a web browser on my phone a friend of mine told me to do this years ago he just said trust me
disable you can't delete but you can disable the web browser in your phone and it will change
your life every time a random thought pops into your head and you think well why don't I Google
that you won't instead you will continue on with your life with what's really important
and I shared this on the call and someone said you know I don't know if that would be possible like
how can you do that and what I post to everyone is what I'll post to you right now is take a
moment and write down the three most important things in your life the three things that you
either want to grow or improve or something you'd like to accomplish in the next six to 12 months
really like right now write it down somewhere if you're on the metro or something you can just
think it take a mental note of these three things.
really really this is you have to do something here this is not just one of those talk a long
dan videos you've got to take out a pen and paper open a new tab open a notepad write down
the three things that are most important to you over the next 6 to 12 months all right
well if you're still here I assume you've written at least one thing down if not three
now think about a decision you've been needing to make think about that hypothetical what if you
disabled the web browser in your phone well would disabling it probably help or hinder
reaching one of those or all of those goals my guess is unless one of your goals is to know a
lot of random facts about things that you won't remember the next day and that don't really have
any importance in your life that disabling your web browser which would save you time and energy
and make you less distracted would ultimately be more likely to help you achieve your goals
so this is one example of how you can use this but ultimately if you focus on where you want
to go it becomes very easy to prioritize and to make better decisions until you know
what you actually want you won't be able to make any kind of good decision or to prioritize
what's really most important for you in the comments below let me know what are the most
important things for you right now in your life either what you're trying to improve
or solve or accomplish very curious to hear from you below in the comments and I will catch you in
