Priorities

Priorities...

Perhaps one of the most unique and strange words in the English Language.

to prioritise means to rank different activities which one is currently doing in the sequence of importance.

But often the problem with prioritising is... all activities seem awfully important. And even if one does prioritise, there are spur-of-the-moments where seemingly inane and unimportant activities become important for that moment (case in point: me blogging).

So what is it with prioritising?

Well, for me it has always been a futile effort to try and focus on one thing at a time. There are so many things which i would like to do or continue doing but unfortunately because i have only two hands and 24 hours in a day (8 hours of which are spent in bed), it becomes almost impossible to follow through with all these activities.

Some times it just feels unfair to have to prioritise... it feels unfair to have to rank the importance of activities against one another... most of all i find it ironic that the human brain, in all its infinite capability is made to prioritise because it has been given the human body which has been limited by the confines of the physical world.

I have grown up learning that man is one of God's greatest creations because he has the ability to make decisions. Decisions that affect his life and the world around him.

Perhaps prioritisation is just a form of decision making. The decision to organise one's life, to draw attention to the more 'important' activities in life.

I often find that different people have different priorities. (work, family, God,...etc) and they sometimes find it hard to respect other people's priorities.

Right

But then again you probably knew all that

So what are my priorities?

I guess survival would be my number one priority
