Kim,
I would love to join your support group. It is on my list categorized in some priority but I lost the list.

Kim,
Blowing off all things important and focusing on not important things has its merits.

PS Oprah is 200lbs now . Is this important ?

We could meet and discuss why we are even at a coffee house having an unimportant meeting.

I really hate prioritizing and lists like this because it takes me back to my old stress filled days as a manager. I never had enough time to do everything and felt stressed and like I wasn’t doing anything very well.

I think for most people in that boat what is required is a wholesale reworking of their life, reprioritizing how work, family, and all the rest fit it and then making deliberate changes to make it work. That’s what it took for me, and I’m glad I did the work and made the changes. It’s the only life I have, after all!

But I’m with you. Hooray for Not Important!

Thanks a lot Gary! I guess you don’t wanna be in my Not Important Addicts club.

I think it’s a great idea! I started with the question “Should I start categorising the importance and urgency of things in my life?” and decided it was neither important nor urgent….
