A Farmish Kind of Life

331: Priority isn’t plural


Listen Later

I recently read that back in the 1400s, the word priority had no plural form. You simply couldn’t have “priorities”, no one had heard of the concept. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that we decided we needed more than one most important thing in our life and decided to pluralize the word.

Today on the front porch I’m talking about:

  • why it’s hard to choose the priority when so many good things need our attention,
  • when everything gets equal weight and equal urgency, we lose the ability to see the one thing that deserves the most of us, and
  • doing everything is often the easiest way to avoid doing the right thing.
  • Do you know what your priority is? And why is it so hard to answer that question? And if you actually do know what your priority is, are you living in a way that your priority is obvious to others?
