“If we have more than three priorities, then we “If we have more than three priorities, then we have none.” - Slip Stream Time Hacking

Is prioritizing hard for you? It’s a big challenge for me. I don’t like saying “no” to anything! 

Lately it’s been easier because I’ve taken the time to prioritize what really matters. Then, after filtering major decisions through those priorities, things become so much clearer. The “no” is easier because it’s really a “yes” to what matters most. 

How about you? Do you fall into the trap of wanting to do it all?

The constraints of time mean that we really can’t do everything. We have to choose where we spend our time based on what we value most. 

Where you spend your time shows what is important to you.

This idea definitely has me thinking and re-evaluating my days. Am I spending time on the important things?

My goal is one family fun activity each month. 

Also, swipe if you need some dinner inspo for the week. 

Just so you know, it means the world to me when I see your comments and shares.  I’m so thankful for y’all!🤗
