In last Wednesday’s post, I discussed the importance of prioritizing your priorities. This means figuring out your most important roles in life and then determining the key activities which will enable you to excel in those roles.
My top roles in life are: Christian, wife, mom, home manager and writer. I have other interests but these are what matter most to me right now. (Though I have to admit, I’ve been struggling in the home manager department since baby was born, lol)
After, I determine my top roles, I then decide no more than three actitivies which will enable me to excel in a particular role. As a wife, the top three activities are: daily talk time (with no children around to interrupt!). This has been tough to get. Usually, the only time we have to talk alone is when both children are asleep at night. By then, we’re both tired. But we strive for at least 15 minutes of this a day. A second activity which helps our marriage is regular date nights. Right now, our date night consists of renting a movie and watching it on the laptop, lol. A third activity for me would be praying for our marriage. I’ve been very slack in this area, but as I’m writing this, I’m being reminded of the importance of prayer.
Take some time and figure out your top 2-3 activities in your top roles in life. My free ebook, Visionating, walks you through this process in detail. Then write down those activities in the binder your created. On Wednesday, we’ll use this list to craft a mission statement for each of your roles as well as craft an overall life mission statement.
