How do you keep to your own priorities

Do you know that? You've itself, or as a team, a lot of time invested in setting your priorities - during a weekend on the moor or a course what-I-want-with-my-life. But before you know it is business as usual and nothing has changed! Now that you know what your priorities are, you still have them in mind. From week to week, from day to day. How do you do that?

With much effort, time and think you finally got your work priorities in a row. They allow you to clear the mind. You know where you live again, where does it all for you.

You come to the e-mail, your week depends on deadlines to each other and just when you finally have a bit of sorting out and have a slight feeling of relief arises, is your boss with three new projects which are all very important and super - urgent. And there you with your charter framed with wonderful intentions and lofty plans.

How do you keep yourself in your own priorities?

The setting of priorities is a good step, a good start. But only in daily practice are you going to the difference in your life and the lives of the people around you. So it's helpful to think about how you translate your ideas and make plans to the workplace.

- Working with real priorities.
You can say that this new study alongside your work is the important thing for you, but when every time you bow to the pressure of more work in the office, it might be realistic to sober finding that job security is your real motive. Nobody is worse to become first but once the truth and the reality deep into the eyes to see. Once you determine that, you can still choose that you want to go for that study, but you know what fear you first have to overcome before you're really that study you top priority.

- Keep your desired outcome always in mind.
Find a way that suits you to help yourself again and again to remind your priorities. The best way I know is by doing a weekly maintenance. Each week you take one hour of time to work your whole life and the revue to pass. A part of that Weekly Maintenance is getting your priorities and Desired Results for the next 1.5 to 2 years. So each week you stay in touch with what you already wanted to achieve.

Imagine that you want to waste, then it's leave of candy probably not very fun to do. By regularly to remind yourself of what you already wanted to achieve: a healthy and fit body that you can dance well, help yourself to the sugar to leave.

- Surface will not matter.
Although willpower for most projects are not sufficient to reach the finish line, it can help you to a flying start, or just to you by the death point going to help. Willpower is not free: it works as a muscle that you can train. If you go to a gym is you do not immediately start with 120 kilograms. If you find that willpower does not help, you may be dealing with overloading the willpower muscle. Start with a smaller project.

- Small steps in the right direction will bring you even closer to your goal.
But the main way I know to your goals and your priorities to keep up by concrete projects to do with concrete actions Upcoming. During my weekly maintenance, I look at my own priorities and I that I care for each project a priority on my list have. And that virtually every project has a Upcoming Action. So I help myself to my intentions from the clouds to the ground floor to withdraw. It is not always as fast as I would like to, but persevere and small 'steps' the snail reached the ark.

All in all, it means that your big goals turnover in small actions - and that continues to remind yourself what you wanted to achieve again. Good luck.
