It occurred to me that anytime we infuse passion into something it takes that idea or action out of the dry, dusty field where the chickens are scratching and up into the clouds where the eagles soar.  Passion reveals your brilliance - it energizes you.  Think about how you feel when you're engaged in something you're really jazzed about.  You're on a roll.  Think Jim Carrey in The Mask - "Somebody stop me!"  Why shouldn't that apply to prioritizing? 

If you're passionately prioritizing, you're spending the majority of your time on the goals that, well, you're passionate about.  For many of us, if we look closely at how we're spending our time, we realize we're spending a very small percentage on what's most important to us.  And the reality is - How you spend your time is how you spend your life.

How are you spending your time?

• Is it hard to remember what you did today?
• How many important activities did you put off?
• How many times has the same activity resurfaced on your To Do list over and over?
• What is it that you want to spend more time doing?
• What would you like to spend less time doing?

 Consider this.  Imagine you had a bank account that received a deposit every morning of $86,400 dollars.  Your account works like this:

• You may not carry over a balance.
• You may not keep any cash in the account.
• Every evening any money not used that day is withdrawn and the account goes back to zero.

 So how would you manage such an account?  Probably withdraw every cent every day, right?

Well you have a bank account like that - it's called THE TIME BANK.

• Every day you get a deposit of approximately 86,400 seconds.
• Every evening whatever time you haven't invested wisely is gone.
• You can't carry over any balances or get refunds.

 But the good news is that every day your account receives a new deposit.

How you use the day's deposit is up to you.
