Priorities
Perhaps the most appropriate topic for this post (my first in 5 months or so) is priorities. I choose this topic because it is the reason why I have been unable to write anything for this blog for such a long time and it is the cause of great stress and tension in everyone's life. The struggle to prioritize and in turn to maximize the time and effort for those things that are higher on one's lists is great and perpetual. These are a few questions I have on this topic. Come back in a few days (hopefully) for my thoughts.
- What are the criteria one should use for determining what is most important in one's life?
- Is it reasonable to expect that a person lives a life where their top priorities are always given precedence over things of lesser importance?
- If I say something is important to me but constantly choose to do things of lesser importance in its stead am I being honest about what my priorities are?
- If I am responsible for the (physical / spiritual) well being of someone else – should my own needs ever take priority?
- In the perfect world will there be time for everything on our list of priorities or will it merely become clear how our time should be best spent?
Binyamin – always looking for a good question. (and glad to have once again found some)
