66 - what is a priorities list and how to create yours

Published on: 26th November, 2021

Let's spend some time moving you closer to your personal and professional goals. Making forward progress rather than being overwhelmed by the tasks we're supposed to complete and frustrated as there's not enough time in our day to do them all.

Through just three straightforward steps, you can streamline and simplify the process of creating your priorities list. First, write EVERYTHING down - all the tasks you have swirling around in your head, either on paper or an app. Next, determine if each task is urgent, important or both urgent & important. Third and lastly, rank the tasks within each of the four urgent/important status squares.

The urgent and important tasks should be very few, although they're essential to focus on now. Those tasks which are important but not urgent can be scheduled. Things that are urgent but not important can be delegated as we don't have to be the person completing them. Tasks being neither urgent nor important can be postponed.

I had a number of men ask for this information to be put together in a document. This should make it easier to perform your brain dump, categorize each task and then rank those tasks. The Priorities List Handbook is available to you at this link.

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men break generational cycles, heal the father wound, and become a better husband and dad.
You swore you'd be a different kind of father than the one who raised you. Then one day you caught his words and tone coming out of your mouth. You felt the same distance creep in at home, and wondered how much of him you're still carrying despite the promise you made to yourself.

Living Fearless Today is a podcast for men who are done repeating the patterns they grew up with. Host Mike Forrester has stood where you're standing. Every week he brings honest conversations and practical tools for the parts of a man's life that rarely get said out loud: the father wound you never named, the anger that shows up with the people you love most, the marriage that's gone quiet, and the man you still want to become.

The show helps you understand the past that shaped you. Then you take an honest look at where you stand today as a husband, a father, and a man. From there you start building the future you actually want, one choice at a time, instead of drifting into the one you were handed and currently living out.

Episodes cover identity, anger, shame, marriage and fatherhood, relationships, self-worth, courage, emotional intelligence, legacy and purpose, and the brotherhood that the vast majority of men are missing. If you've looked for how to break generational cycles, face a father wound, handle anger as a dad, or become a better husband and father, start here.

The cycle can end with you. Press play and take the first step toward becoming the man you needed when you were young.
