Your True Priorities Must Not Be Driven By Urgency Or By Others

It is a better thing to weigh and measure priorities
in the illuminating light of your own mission
than to have your activities formed by the
impressions and expectations of others.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

If a task is important, do it now.
If it is not truly important, forget about it forever, relax,
and do something that really is important.
Caution: The most important things in life are seldom the most obvious.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Do first things first, and second things not at all.
- Peter Drucker

"It's not that important,
don't worry about it" is the answer,

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Take time to contemplate - away from the opinions and influence of others -
what you really want and what you believe to be important in your life.
