Balancing Priorities
Hey Besties,
When it comes to being Multifaceted, balancing your priorities becomes mandatory! Balancing work, life, and purpose starts with energy management in my life. We only have 24 hours a day, but the level of energy we have fluctuates and directly affects how much work we can get done. Here are three tips for you to improve your prioritization skills.
1. Replace Time Management with Energy Management - Approaching time management from an energy standpoint allows you to increase your discernment with prioritization. Rather than booking meetings during the time your body needs fuel, consider blocking off a standing lunchtime. On the days when you have a lot of meetings, schedule fewer admin tasks to be accomplished that day so you can have a mental break.
2. Orbit vs Order - My second tip for balancing is recognizing that your priorities orbit rather than having an order. Some days your family may require more for you and the next day you might require more for yourself and that is PERFECTLY FINE! Order limits you to catering to one priority more than others, whereas orbits allow the energy given to flow based on circumstance.
3. Weekly Tasks vs Daily Tasks - After making a new to-do list each day for a couple of years, I found that it caused more stress than satisfaction. Now, I create a list for the week of the main tasks I need to get accomplished. Giving myself a week instead of one day allowed me to feel less pressure and gave me the freedom to adjust my days based on my life.
No two days will look the same as a Multifaceted person, so give yourself grace as you manage your energy, allow your priorities to orbit, and approach tasks weekly rather than on a daily basis.
