[ Priority ]

When something doesn’t get done, it’s because you’ve prioritised something else over it. 

The hard part is deciding what to prioritise.

This is the dilemma of any number of workers, entrepreneurs, project managers, dual-career families, parents or students.  Anyone who has ‘a million’ things to do.  The real problem is the difficulty in prioritising. 

Because doing one thing, any of the million things that need doing, means you are prioritising that over the others.

And calling that out is sometimes telling.  It’s not “I’m too busy to do that”, it’s “I’ve prioritised something else over that”.  Just own the decision.
