Prioritizing by Intuition

Prioritizing by Intuition

Many of us jump from one activity to the next throughout our day. As a result, our day seems like one giant to-do list. We become human-doings.??

?What do I have to do??

What's next???

Where do I have to be right now??Dominate our thoughts.??

?If we don’t allow space/time for intuition, we become "crazy busy”, and default to lazy thinking.??

?When we stop and analyze our daily activities and examine all the "have to" items, we will see that we have more control than we think.??

?I like to think of Prioritization as a muscle. If you use it, it gets stronger and serves you. If you don't, it withers away, and someone else prioritizes your life for you. So the #1 way to better prioritize is to develop your intuition.??

Intuition: The intersection of your head and heart.??

The busier you are, the more critical it is to build space in your day. This allows you to reflect and examine “where have I been” and “where am I headed”???

"Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion," Steve Jobs told writer Walter Isaacson in his self-titled biography.?"That's had a big impact on my work."?

3 Ways to Develop your Intuition?

  1. Enjoy your morning coffee and do nothing. See if you can sit still for 20min. Then, do nothing except sip your coffee.??
  2. Journal. Periodically emptying your head of thoughts, worries, to-do's, and aspirations is a great way to free up space, giving you more clarity and confidence regarding what's essential.??
  3. Do Less and build in breaks throughout your day. For example, do a guided meditation, go for a walk, read a chapter, or eat a healthy snack.??
