Today I’m sharing a few changes in my life—new opportunities—that have and will require a shift in priorities. I have actually loved —for a LONG time—the idea of understanding values, creating priorities and using both to improve personal productivity. I often say that this podcast isn’t about productivity, but it is about being present in your life because you create the time you need to do and share what you LOVE most of all. In a way, Exactly Enough Time is about prioritizing what matters! Way back in 2007-ish, inspired by Todd Henry, I created a personal 6-word bio: Teaching Awareness and Gratitude—sprinkled with FUN! It’s interesting how what I wanted to be known for then is still true today. These six words are in fact closely aligned with my top priorities. And now, as I am choosing to take on new teaching roles I’m working to remind myself of principles that have guided me in the past. I’m always curious what people “Google” about different topics. I’m sharing here a screen shot of the most popular queries around priorities. I like the first one: What are your top 3 priorities in life?

Because that’s where you spend your time and your money.” — Dave Ramsey You can learn more Dave Ramsey and his philosophies on prioritization and solutions HERE and HERE. Learn more about the Eisenhower Principle and how it has become one of the most popular and powerful time management tools in organizations and business. ⏰ You’ve likely seen this principle set up in a matrix—or quadrant—where you can visually see or list items on your to-do list as important and urgent (do these first), not urgent but important (plan to do these things), urgent but not important (delegate as many of these things as possible) and not urgent and not important (eliminate these things)    “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I will still be producing this podcast, but not weekly.
