Setting Priorities
Let’s be clear about this. There is no simple cure-
all to this challenge. The challenge of juggling
multiple priorities will be a constant battle and
struggle for any of us who want to get things
done and have an impact on the world. But
remembering and employing these three tactics
can help bring you back from the brink and ensure
that you’re focused on those things that are most
important to you. You can find more articles like

“You will be much more
productive if you can end
the day with some kind
of “power down” – doing
something that allows your
brain to actively disengage
from the important things
you’re focused on.”
