Priority Balance
Priorities may seem obvious at first glance. Shouldn’t we know what is important to us? Common sense dictates that we should spend more time on our higher priorities and less time on our less significant ones. Perhaps surprisingly, priority balance is not so simple. We often find ourselves wishing we had more time in the day to focus on the really important things. Priority balance is constructed to help you stop wishing and help you start changing your life. Implementation of Priority Balance is essential if you want to start accomplishing your goals. The following three areas are key to mastering Priority Balance:
Simplification and Perspective-Three questions
Linda and Richard Eyre, experts in parenting and family values, stress the importance of simplification when it comes to priority balance. They wonder when our society will forgo the notion that bigger and more complex is better. They reference the Gandhi’s basic existence. The Gandhi’s rid themselves of everything but their eyeglasses, scripture, and loincloth so that they can focus on what’s important. The Eyres suggest asking yourself these 3 questions when evaluating if something is worth doing:
1. Will it matter in 5 years?
2. Do I need it?
3. Can I simplify it?
The Eyers explain, “With the habit of these new skills-the skill of discretionary neglect, the skill of selective prioritization, the skill of deciding what not to do, and the skills of discerning which things are worth doing well, which things are just barely worth doing, and which things are not worth doing at all. “Adding on” too often complicates our lives and contributes to the loss of self. “Casting off” simplifies our lives and helps us find ourselves”.
Concentration of what’s Important- The Eyres took all of their children on a trip to Mexico. The primary reason for the Eyre’s trip to Mexico was to give their children perspective on the privileged life they led. The Eyres decided to vacation on a humble mountaintop fishing village high above Guadalajara. ” Because we had no car while we were there, we arranged for horseback transportation. It cost approximately $12 to rent eight horses for two horses. Each time we road along the beach, we saw the village women pounding their washing on the rocks, and when we clipped-clopped through the village streets, we saw families with 10 children in one room. With eyes wide, our children gazed into the eyes of the native children, whose eyes showed reciprocal amazement. One 9-year old girl visited our condo every day. Too shy to venture in at first, she became braver each day as she watched the children play in the small front yard swimming pool. Neatly dressed in the same blue dress and no shoes, she was always smiling and happy and came day after day to interact with our children . But she turned down all our invitations to go swimming with us. On the last Wednesday before we left, she finally consented to swim.
We were all amazed when she jumped into the pool in her blue dress. At that moment we realized that she had no swimming suit or shoes-nothing besides the clothes she wore. On the return flight home when we asked our own 9 year old what she had learned from our time in Mexico, she said, “That you don’t need shoes to be happy.” Unlike the problems of the people in Ajiic, Mexico, the problems of “fast track” Americans do not stem from scarcity or lack of options or challenges. Instead our challenge is whether we can sort out and balance the most important and meaningful things from among all the needs and demands that surround us.”
Life Balance- According to the Eyers, the easiest number of areas to balance is three. They make the analogy of how juggling three balls is relatively easy, whereas juggling four balls becomes more difficult. “The mind can stay consistently conscious of three areas”, says Richard Eyre. “Life balance is best pursued when we create three areas of priority. They are family, work and self. The deepest and and truest priorities of life all fit somewhere within these three categories. The first first step in obtaining life balance is is to spend five minutes each day, before you write down any other plans or think about your schedule, deciding on the single most important thing you can do that day for your family, for your work and for yourself. List these three choose-to-dos before listing any have-to-dos. Even if you do nothing each day except the three key priority items, in a year you will have accomplished more than 300 specific, clearly thought-out things for your family, for self and for work.”
It’s my sincerest hope that after reading this article, you will be able to better prioritize your life and focus on those things which truly matter. You can find out more about Linda and Richard Eyre by visiting http://www.theeyres.com
