“Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day, and those decisions are determined by our priorities.” –Myles Munroe

We’ve all been there. You get to the end of the day and feel you put out a lot of fires but you haven’t done any work that makes an impact, nothing that truly that moves the needle on your goals. Today is the second installment of our Leadership Conundrums series, dedicated to figuring out how to make decisions when everything is a priority.

Carla Sones and Faye Davis talk about  distinguishing how your time is spent using tools like the Eisenhower matrix, and how to break down goals using the Four Disciplines of Execution method. When we spend time reflecting on our work habits, patterns become visible. Are we intentionally setting aside time to work, undisturbed, towards the big rocks in life? It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that everything is a priority when we get stuck in the whirlwind of life and work. But when we take some time to sit back and lift into a 10,000-foot view to establish true importance, that’s when the real priorities will take shape. And when priorities are clearly set, decision-making becomes easier.

Join now to hear Carla and Faye’s conversation around exploring various methods of re-establishing priorities and creating clearer space to make impactful decisions. You can listen on our website, via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts!
