As I’m thinking about ways to prioritize what is important in my life, and as I’ve heard from a few of you about your priorities in the last month, I thought it might be helpful to pose some prioritizing questions for your consideration. Send the answers back to me if you feel so inclined:

1. What stokes the fire in your belly (about what do you feel passionate)?
2. How often do you make time for this passion?
3. How could you add 5 minutes per day to this time?
4. What could you accomplish in 30 hours if you immersed yourself in your passion (5 minutes per day per year)?
5. What’s keeping you from adding this to your daily schedule?

Personally, I can’t get much traction in 5 minutes on some of the things I feel deeply about. I can get traction in 5 minute conversations with my daughter, my colleagues, and my husband. Relationship is one of my top two priorities. I can get traction in 30 minute increments–so once a week–on my writing, another top priority. How could you allocate a weekly 35 minutes or a daily 5?
