If everything is your higher priority; nothing is.

I love when people said that everything it is a priority. In my experience, when everything is a priority nothing is.
The reality is that you can only have one Top Priority. At a given moment, only one thing can be a priority. If you think otherwise, you really don’t know which one is your priority, therefore you think everything is.
That doesn’t mean that priorities can’t change from one moment to the next, only means that if you compare two or more things, only one can have the highest priority, otherwise, none of them are.
Imagine for a moment, what it is your higher priority right now. What are you doing towards that priority? Do you have a conflicting priority? Notice that if when you answer the question of what it is your Higher Priority you though on more than one thing, honestly you need to sit and really think which one is the real priority, you can only have ONE HIGHEST PRIORITY, otherwise, you have none.
When I publish my latest book NO, my highest priority was that book, until was ready for sale, nothing else. I didn’t had twenty other higher priorities, I had one, that book.
We confuse, important things, and things we need to do with our higher priority, and it is that confusion that generate that really any of them get to be really our higher priority.
Think about it, if everything it is your higher priority, nothing is.

FEBRUARY CHALLENGE: Who was Walt Disney?

We are back to the focus read a book per month during 2013.
Our January Challenge was: “The War of Art by Steven Pressfield” and I hope you took it.

This month I bring a different kind of book. The book for February is a Walt Disney Biography, called: “Who was Walt Disney”

You may or may not be a Disney fan, but you can't deny that Walt Disney was not only a great dreamer but also someone who was able to create a business that last way past his life and time. More importantly, Disney was someone that failed, but got up, again and again.

Here is the link to the Who Was Walt Disney? “>book on Amazon (Affiliate Link).

TIP#32: Create a "Victories & Accomplishments" list

We all have low days. Some people have them more often that the world actually is aware. That it is a fact of life. So you have two options, weep for hours or days; or remind yourself of the fantastic stuff you have accomplished.
This is more than just a list of stuff, it is not enough to have, wrote book, magazine cover. That will not do in a low day. Mine read:
– Wrote 25 Tips for Productivity that was on the Amazon Best Seller List for more than 150 days!
– Got Featured on Productive Magazine! on the cover of Issue 14
See the difference, this need to be written to lift your spirit. This is so you get reminded of the great stuff you had accomplished. Regardless how small seems, we all have Victories and Accomplishments, that may seem small today, but where big when we did, and we need to be reminded of them, as often as we need.
i.e. I have a Law Degree that was useful to get an MBA. I discover I didn’t want it to be a Lawyer in the middle. I really want it to quit, do something else, anything else. I am proud that I finish it. I don’t want to practice, I am not interested, but I consider an accomplishment that I finish my degree and move on.
