#5 First things first

Content

To live a balanced life it is important to know what you want to do and for what in your life you will not make time. To know what your highest priorities are and when you need to say no to something. It means that you live your life by following what is most important for you and what will get you towards the goals that you have set. 
*So what are the first things? *
First things are those that personally for you are the most worthy. When you are putting first things first you are managing your life in a way that you have set during #4 Visioning learning. 
﻿
Decide which items in life or the tasks that you have to do are not-important, important, urgent or not-urgent. The most effective way of living is to live mostly in the field not ‘urgent - important’
