In this digital era that we all are in, I doubt if there’s any individual who is not busy. Whether at work, school, with family or what have you, everyone has his own duty to fulfil. Tight deadlines, exams, PTA meetings, school projects, household chores, etc. And I’m not exempted to that. I never ran out of things to do and activities to plan but I’m not complaining. I’m actually liking it because it makes me closer to the next promising day of my life.
I just want to point out something. Amidst the busy life that we have, how do we manage to get things done at the right time and in the right place? Simple. PRIORITY. We’re not Superman nor Ironman who can get things done in a snap. But we can set our priorities, giving the #1 spot to the most important one, second, third and so on.
That’s how I manage my tasks at work. Sorting out which needs to be done first according to importance and urgency. Doing some tasks simultaneously if possible and giving out my 100% to accomplish those efficiently.
But of course, my life doesn’t revolve in my work alone. I have my family, friends and someone in between and they too, get prioritized. No, they are my priorities. There’s no ‘busy’ excuse from me to not send a message to my mom, say hi to a friend or spend some quality time with people who matter most to me, whether personally or electronically. TIME, it’s totally free and yet, it’s the hardest thing to give to someone. But it only gets difficult if we don’t give priority.. plain and simple. And if they don’t fall under our priorities, it means they don’t mean so much to us.
And that is why I don't buy the excuse "Sorry, I'm busy.". When I hear that, I just keep mum, smile and tell myself, "I got it.".
