With a well understood values base youll more clearly discern your day-to-day priorities. First, its important to distinguish whats urgent from what is vital.Lets pause and examine those words, what they really mean, and what buttons they push. Urgent comes from the same root as the word urgeits a pushy, sometimes panicky, word. It implies something which propels us automatically onward into action and has time pressure, has to get done fast, or you at least feel like it does. Whats urgent probably is important for the moment, but it also changes from moment to moment and day to day. In this way, its similar to the barometric reading we talked about in an earlier article. So just because something is Urgent doesn't necessarily mean it's important.Conversely, whats vital refers to something central and internally crucial; something you literally cant live without, not just for the moment but over time. In fact, vital comes from the word for life itself, like vital organsheart, brain, blood. Whats vital may have less pressure and feel calmer than whats urgent, but its much more crucial for your long-term survival and well-being. Whats vital to you feeds your life force. In this way, it may remind you of your True Northa fixed and eternal need. The urgent and the vital both need to be balanced on a daily basis. You need to be careful not to let yourself submerge what is consistently vital in what is momentarily urgent.If youre like most people youre probably bombarded, and confused, throughout the day with what are, or what seem to be, urgent matters. Obviously, however, its whats vital to you and to your true self which really matters most and must take top priority. You can see how standing by your values plays a huge role in deciding this. This can be challenging, so having a very simple A-B-C-D priority system can be extremely helpful. Make a list of what you know you want to accomplish today, and then rate them as follows:A - Those absolute vital items you have-to complete. B - Those urgent items which could wait until tomorrow. C The want to impulse items which are even less urgent and important. D Those items which you are unsure of or are possibly not necessary at all.The follow-through is simple: Always do the A items first, followed by the B items and so forth. Transfer todays incomplete list onto tomorrows plan. Reprioritize the list daily since new items will undoubtedly arise. Setting boundaries with yourself and with others so you can stay focused on your vital A tasks.Make a values-driven priority plan for yourself, and youll find youre more productive while also being truer to yourself. Live your life this way and youll find yourself on the path of your True North.
