If It's a priority you'll find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse. ~ Jim Rohn

ThinCre8 5.0 is themed at Priority Management. An advance concept of time management that we learnt since childhood.

Priority management is the modern term for time management where we need to manage our priority and take decisions based on our highest priority to get things done.

We all have our own priorities and work based on it. The moment something becomes our priority it gets done. It's as simple as that. The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Brain Tracy rightly said to prioritize our priorities and Eat that Frog (Our highest priority) right in the morning, so it gets done or enhances our productivity if that's a few days task.

There's also a 1:3:5 Rule that talks about allocating 1 Big task, 3 medium tasks and 5 small tasks to our To Do Lists. This is one of the best way to enhance our producitivty.

We need not to manage time yet our priorities. Time is same for every creature on this planet (24 Hours). It's how well we manage our priorities and have clarity of what needs to be done.

Eisenhower Matrix based on

4 quadrants of urgency and importance

• Important and Urgent - Do
• Important and Not Urgent - Decide (Schedule)
• Not Important and Urgent - Delegate
• Not Important and Not Urgent - Delete

is a great way to decide on our priorities, yet there can be certain opportunities that pops in and suddenly our priorities change.

Here are some examples:

If someone of national importance or a celebrity calls you to have lunch with them to discuss once in a lifetime opportunity, all of a sudden our priority changes, keeping our highest priority aside.

If suddenly there's an earthquake, sunami or any other natural calamity our priority shifts to safeguarding our life and of those around us.

If suddenly there is a health issue or an accident our priority shifts to the emergency.

Based on our priority we can only take the very next action only. Just as we take the 1st step on a foggy way. Our path becomes clear as we move forward and so does our priorities keep changing based on our circumstances (?????????) means the situations created by others that are not in our control.

Every goal, collaboration, or assignment we take on can be defined as a project, which gives it shape, focus, and a sense of direction. If we consider that these projects are our biggest investment of attention, it's worth adding a little bit of structure to how we start them. Here comes a concept of Project Kickoff Checklist.

Capture - the current thinking

Review - folders / tags that might contain relevant notes

Search - related terms across all folders

Move - relevant information to the project folder

Create - an outline of collected notes, and plan the project as per your updated thinking and research.

Each and everything around us requires our attention, and we need to decide where to prioritize. Either we give attention when something shows up else we have to prioritize our attention on to it when it blows up. Better manage your priorities before they manage you!

??You may start with one project and slowly move on to more ambitious ones as your skills develop. As your needs change, give yourself the freedom to discard or take on whichever parts serve you.

??Mixing and matching the tools and techniques you can well define your own priorities to run the show on your own terms.

??Everything is just information and you are the master at flowing and shaping it towards whatever future you desire. Your system can look like chaos to others, but if it brings you progress and delight, then it's the right one.

?Are we taking a pause to reflect on our priorities?

?Are we creating a thinking space and time to manage our priorites?

?Are we focusing on the priorities on my plate now served or getting overwhelmed with innumerous tasks and opportunities popping from everywhere?

?Are we hoping to connect ideas and develop our ability to plan, influence and grow in our personal and professional life?

?Do we find time to refer to our notes created? Many a times valuable ideas are buried in unexpected places.

?Are we managing our priorities or our priorities managing us?

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have. ~ John C. Maxwell

Most of us spend too much time on what's urgent, and not enough time on what is important. ~ Stephen Covey

It's not what we say is a priority, but what we actually DO that's a priority. ~ JD Roth

Life is short. Focus on what really matters most; you should change your priorities over time. ~ Roy T. Bennett

To change your life you have to change your priorities. ~ Mark Twain

In order to say YES to your priorities, you have to be willing to say NO to something else. ~ CA SHIVANI GUPTA ??
