For years I'd wake up early, set forth on my morning routine (reading, exercising, studying a positive resource in the form of a TED Talk, or article), then dive into my to-do list.
I committed myself fully to this daily archive, this sacred scroll. And nothing was better than the satisfaction I'd get from crossing off one task after another. I got a lot done.
Looking back, I now know many, if not most, of the things "I got done," could have been delegated, tabled, or weren't necessary at all.
In all those years I failed to take inventory of whether or not the tasks I was sure needed to get done were actually important. In other words, I'd prioritized my schedule, instead of scheduling my priorities.
Once you discover the difference you'll be well on your way towards taking the action steps that truly matter in getting you closer to where you want to be.
I just hope it doesn't take you as long to figure out as it did for me.
