I understand there have been some questions about identifying priorities, and the difference between priorities and values. Values ---> give your life meaning. Priorities ---> how you put your values in action. So, here's how it works. I have a humungous value around learning. Learning gives my life meaning. So, when I make time to read, or take a class, or have an engaging conversation with someone who has knowledge or a different perspective, I am prioritizing my learning value. Murky on your priorities? Easiest way to identify priorities is to call me up and let me listen to you talk. :-) But absent that one, sit with a friend who is a good note taker. Talk about your life. What are your challenges, your dreams, your passions? Where do you get hung up, fired up? Your friend will no doubt be able to discern your priorities fairly quickly. Let me give you a for instance. A client in my What's Next? coaching group is feeling blue. At our group session this week, she was talking and I was taking notes. As she wrapped up, I identified these priorities: Taking care of her health, achieving clarity, being centered, being energized and being loved. She agreed with all of them, and swore she wouldn't have been able to come up with that list on her own. A good listener/friend will be able to help you identify your priorities and then put them right into action. Thanks, Jeannette, for generously providing this forum. You are amazing.

Values —> give your life meaning.

Priorities —> how you put your values in action.

So, here’s how it works. I have a humungous value around learning. Learning gives my life meaning. So, when I make time to read, or take a class, or have an engaging conversation with someone who has knowledge or a different perspective, I am prioritizing my learning value.

They talk about how our opportunity isn't in managing time, but in managing energy. And when we do that properly, we'll find we have more energy for each day. Anyone familiar with that?

I love it. I have never heard of it this way. The way I use this system (and by the way, I prefer the standard 100 units of energy) is to ask what is important and what is urgent? I rank everything on my to do list based on what is important and urgent first and then what is important. There is too much that we do that is urgent but not important.

Could be cool if so. I love how Martha Beck writes with sparkly gel pens to bring some "fun" to her "work." And she paints while she coaches clients. Lots of opportunity we might not be taking advantage of to transform our "work." :) Thanks for reading and especially for posting, Tiffany!

Work wasn't on the list, but oh well! That's where my life is. This is a great strategy for figuring out WHY some things don't feel good and some things do.

I think a lot of us miss the importance of that for ourselves. (Like that's what we'll do once we get the rest of the list done. ha ha) Always a treat to see you here - thanks for pitching in on this conversation, girlfriend!

I've been running on 50 energy units though ! I've tried to conserve for tomorrow, borrow from yesterday and felt totally worthless for not managing to keep on top. I've listed my priorities - and tomorrow I start ! Rest first - that's the top of the list ! Thank you - lovely guest post. OMG – this so resonates with me post accident.
