How to define your Top Priorities.

Our priority is the area of lives that are meaningful as well as important for us. If a person is not clear on their priorities than it will be difficult for them to managing their time and making progress on their Goal.

A man goes to the doctor and complains of a migraine; the doctor prescribes a pill and the man feels better for a while. The next week, he comes in again with the same problem so the doctor prescribes another pill and again he feels better only to come back the following week with the same complaint. On his third visit, the doctor finally asks the man, "When do you begin to suffer these migraines?" The man replies, "Every time I think about my ex-wife" to which the doctor replied, "Sir if you really want to cure your migraines for good, stop thinking about your ex-wife."

I want to make it clear that addressing symptoms never work; they are only temporary fixes and therefore not important priorities. They may be urgent for instant relief but not most important for complete relief. To cure any ailment for good, you must address the cause.
