Some priorities we choose. Some priorities are dictated to us. But, we can control our passion and what we are passionate about.

Isn’t it interesting that if we are passionate about a priority how we are able to find time for it? We stay up late or get up early to focus and work on it. We eat lunch at our desk while working on it.

I relate having passionate priorities to reading a very good book. You can’t put it down. You are reading it at stop lights, in the bathroom, at the dinner table, in your bed…well into the night.

Identify those things that you are passionate about and make them a priority. Or, become passionate about your priorities. Life is too short to take time “on a bad book”. (There are so many other books just waiting to be read.) Delegate or ask for a reassignment if the passion isn’t there. You will be more productive when you will look for ways to spend time on what you love.
