What is your north star? What is that one thing or list of things that make you want to get out of bed in the morning? I challenge you to create a north star list in this episode! 

Transcript:

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and today we’re chatting about identifying your north star as an exercise to help us think about what our priorities are so that we can use our Intentional Margins® in our day to live in fulfillment of those priorities.  

No one needs all-the-things, just the things that are fulfilling to them.  But if you don’t know what that is, you feel stuck on the hamster wheel of todos.  

Today, I invite you to make a list of the things, the people, the relationships that matter most to you.  

Ask yourself, why are those things important to you? 

Then, ask yourself, is there time on my calendar to engage in these priorities? Can I carve out some time?  What would that look like? 

What you’ll come up with is your North Star list of priorities and your Intentional Margins®.  When you create harmony between your todos - all those things we know we have to get done - and your priorities, you start living in your Intentional Margins®.

For me, these North Star priorities are written in my paper planner so that I can refer to my list often. I get a new planner every quarter and I re-evaluate (or add something in).  They are in the following order:

1. Sleep
