To change your life, you need to change your priorities.” Mark Twain
“There is no one busy in this world, it’s always about priorities. You will always find time for the things you feel important.” Nishan Panwar
“If it’s a priority you’ll find a way. If it isn’t, you’ll find an excuse.” Jim Rohn

Tips for prioritizing:
1. Set goals and stick to them. - Goals are your road map.
2. Do what you dread first. - As Mark Twain famously said, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning.”
3. Don't over commit... learn to say 'NO' sometimes.
4. Lists. There are a million ways to make and use task lists, but you can't prioritize your tasks until you know them all.
5. Learn to Delegate.
6. Learn to Outsource.
Ask questions to help you set your priorities:
* Does this task directly support the goals we set for this time period?
* What do I absolutely have to accomplish today?
* When does this need to get done by?
* Am I excited about this?
* Do I have the energy and brainpower required to do this effectively today/right now?
