Prioritization is one of the most important skills that can help us to improve our personal and professional lives. Also, it is our third step that will help us achieve our goals.
Until now, we explained how to set goals, and how to create a vision board. At this point, we should have some ideas and goals in our mind that we wanted to accomplish. If we are not sure where to start, we may need to put our goals in order. This is where we need to apply prioritization skills in our process. We can’t do all the things we want at once, so we need to focus on the goals that matter the most to us, the goals which have the highest impact and importance for our life, the goals which can create a ripple effect in our lives, and help us to get closer to our other goals as well.
For example, one of my most important and long-term goals are creating a well-organized and uncluttered lifestyle. Because I am well aware of that if I have a well-organized and uncluttered life, I can see many more improvements in my personal and professional life. I will add some of them below.
Having an uncluttered and organized life:
- Makes me feel happier and more energetic – having in my life only what I need – no more clutter
- Lowers stress level – no more wasting time to search for my keys, wallet, and bag
- Improves my relationship at home – no more frustration since I started to declutter all the unnecessary things that I have around me
- Frees up my schedule and mind – having more clarity in my life – no more wasting time among the options that do not matter
- Creates awareness of the things that I really want and need – no more shopping just because there is a sale
- Improves our overall lifestyle –- It has a huge positive ripple effect in our life
- Improves sleep quality – ‘Less is More’- We feel better, live better and sleep better
Also, there are other known proven health benefits that you can read from the article called ‘Why Decluttering Is Good for Your Health.’
I believe that once decluttering and organizing becomes part of our life we will see many other benefits as well. And I will move forward with my other goals that are on my list such as creating a healthy morning and evening routine. I guess I do not need to mention how worthwhile it will be already having an organized life to accomplish these two goals.
I hope you can come up with your top 3 goals that can create a ripple effect and help you in more than one area of your life.
