Our priorities aren’t what we say they are, they’re what we do. If something is important enough to you, you’ll do it — even if it’s hard or unpopular.

The question is, are you prioritizing the right things? This is something we need to stop and ask ourselves periodically. It keeps us from drifting into things that only feel important in the moment.

Naming your priorities should take very little effort. They should be top of mind, and the list should be short.
