How To Be Successful At Getting Important Things Done

Set Priorities

Each day we are surrounded by things that have to get done. As society gets more modern and information travels faster, the bids for our time become even greater. Our first reaction to the conflicting demands on our time is to try to do everything at once. However, actually getting everything done whenever we want to rarely happens. We have to do what is known as "setting our priorities" in order to be successful at getting the most important tasks done.

Focus On What's Important

Perfectionists have an especially difficult time with priorities because they try to make sure that everything gets done perfectly the first time. This is not reality. Understand that life is not perfect and you have to set your focus on what is really important. While there are many different theories on setting priorities, it might be wise to stick to some of the more traditional ways of priority setting.

Don't Disregard Spiritual Relationships

While not everyone is religious, most are. You would be wise to set a priority between your spiritual beliefs and yourself. Guard your spiritual relationships as a topmost priority because this where you will find your inner strength. In other words, don’t disregard your weekly worship service attendance or daily time in prayer. Make time for this as a top priority. If you are not a spiritual person, just disregard this priority.

Make Yor Family Top Priority

Your relationships with your family members should be your next priority. If you're a parent, remember that you only get one chance at raising yourchildren. If you're an older sibling, keep in mind that your younger siblings look up to you. Avoid putting your career, extracurricular activities or even social life before your family. Remember that jobs and careers will come and go, especially with today's economy but your family will be with you all throughout. So make your family a top priority.

Your remaining priorities should be ordered according to their importance to you. Of course, work and career would probably come right after family.As you can see though, with work and career at this level, some things aren't going to get done, but you will be focusing on what is of utmost important and you will be a much happier person for it.
