Simplifying an Overwhelmed Schedule: Moving from Priorities to Priority


Listen Later

Did you know that the English word "priority," when it came into the English language, stayed singular for 500 years? Not until the 1900's did we make it plural. As Greg McKeown suggests, the result is quite dangerous. When everything is priority, nothing is priority.

As we evaluate our overwhelmed schedule, this one simple exercise has helped us cut through the noise. What is the priority (singular)? This evaluation has led us to make some intentional adjustments, which Christi shares on this week's episode.

Here are some takeaways:
  • Practical ways to simplify an overwhelming schedule
  • How to not only give yourself permission to do less, but other people around you
  • The preciousness of time and how we won't get these years back with our kids
  • Why Christi is taking a step back and what that looks like
