Some days I get really frustrated at the fact that there are a million things that need to get done, yet there are just not enough hours in the day to do them all. Trying to pick and choose which things to put first can be one of the most challenging parts of each day. It’s even more difficult when all of the things you would like to do are really good things that all have the ability to make a difference in the world. I find myself wanting to be able to do every good thing all at once. Yet, I am constantly reminding myself that I am just one person and that would be impossible. Oh, if only we could clone ourselves and be in 50 places at once, accomplishing everything that we desire to accomplish in this life.
There’s no perfect answer on how to pick which projects to focus on first. I am still learning how to do that in my life. It is especially hard now that I have more freedom to choose what to do with my time, which is ironic, because you’d think the opposite to be true. Weird, huh? Maybe it’s difficult because for the first time in my life it’s no longer about what I “have to do” but what I “want to do.” While doing those things that had to be done for so many years, my list of things that I wanted to do just kept growing and growing, until it’s ready to burst from the seams. There is a need to pick and choose which things on the “want to do” list get to come first – even though I really wish I could do all of them all at once.
