EP.3 – Put First Things First

Do important things first

(From the book of 7 The Character of the Most Effective)

Sometimes life doesn't break because we're not good enough.

But because we accidentally spend too much time on something that doesn't matter.

Habit 3 of 7 Habits

Causing us to start asking ourselves

"Is what we do every day really in the way we want to go?"

Self-care

Learning

Building the Future

And spending time with loved ones.

These may not be urgent.

But it's really very important to life. 🤍

💭 "Are we spending time on what really matters, or just what's in front of it?"

This is the 3rd habit of 7 Habits.

That teaches "life sequencing."

It doesn't just talk about diligence.

But speaking of choice, give time to what really matters to our future.

♫ ♫ ♫

⏳ The key point of this habit is

✨ Most people live with "urgent matters."

Until forgetting "important things"

Such as

Play the phone, enjoy.

Answer everything immediately.

Spend energy on things that don't take us to grow.

But what really changes life is often what

"Important, but not urgent."

Such as

Health care

Reading books

Self-improvement

Building the Future

Spending time with loved ones

These things may not work immediately.

But one day it will become our entire quality of life.

♫ ♫ ♫

🎯 Stephen Covey says

"Living effectively.

Is to give time to something important before it becomes a problem. "

Many times, we wait for health to break to start caring.

Waiting for a bad relationship to start caring.

Wait near the end of time to get underway.

In fact,

The important thing should always be chosen first.

♫ ♫ ♫

🪞 a simple way to practice this habit.

Try asking yourself every day that

What really matters to our lives today?

Have we spent time on that?

What is pulling our energy unnecessarily?

Just start observing.

Life will gradually become more organized.

♫ ♫ ♫

📝 because in the end,

"A good life is not about doing everything.

But by choosing the right important thing, "🤍

Read moreการจัดลำดับความสำคัญในชีวิตประจำวันเป็นทักษะสำคัญที่ช่วยให้เราบรรลุเป้าหมายและมีคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีขึ้น จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองเกี่ยวกับสิ่งที่สำคัญที่สุดในแต่ละวันช่วยทำให้ชีวิตมีโฟกัสมากขึ้น และลดเวลาที่เสียไปกับเรื่องที่ไม่ก่อให้เกิดประโยชน์ ใครก็ตามที่เคยรู้สึกว่าเวลาหมดไปโดยที่ยังไม่ประสบความสำเร็จหรือรู้สึกเครียด วุ่นวายกับเรื่องราวที่ไร้ผล จะรู้สึกว่าแนวคิด "ทำสิ่งสำคัญก่อน" ช่วยให้ตื่นตัวและมีความรับผิดชอบต่อตัวเองมากขึ้น การตระหนักว่าสิ่งที่ "สำคัญ แต่ไม่เร่งด่วน" อย่างเช่นการดูแลสุขภาพ การเรียนรู้เพื่อพัฒนาตัวเอง และการสร้างความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีกับคนรอบข้าง คือก้าวเล็ก ๆ ที่บ่มเพาะชีวิตที่มั่นคงในระยะยาว ถือเป็นการลงทุนที่ให้ผลลัพธ์ที่ยั่งยืน แม้บางครั้งอาจดูเหมือนไม่เห็นผลทันที แต่เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป ความพยายามเหล่านี้จะสะสมเป็นความสำเร็จและความสุขในชีวิต สำหรับการฝึกนิสัยนี้ ฉันมักจะใช้วิธีเขียนสิ่งที่สำคัญที่สุดของวันลงในสมุดบันทึกตอนเช้า และทบทวนตอนเย็นว่าสิ่งเหล่านั้นได้รับความสนใจมากน้อยแค่ไหน ถ้าพบว่ามีสิ่งที่รบกวนเวลาหรือพลังงานมากเกินไป ก็จะค่อย ๆ ปรับเปลี่ยนพฤติกรรม เช่น ลดเวลาการใช้งานโทรศัพท์มือถือ และเลือกใช้เวลากับกิจกรรมที่เป็นประโยชน์อย่างแท้จริง สุดท้าย การ "ทำสิ่งสำคัญก่อน" ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของความขยัน แต่คือการเลือกอย่างชาญฉลาดเพื่อให้ใช้ชีวิตอย่างเต็มเปี่ยมและมีคุณค่า นี่คือบทเรียนที่ได้จาก Stephen Covey และหนังสือ 7 Habits ที่แนะนำให้เราทุกคนลองนำไปปรับใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน เพื่อความสำเร็จและความสุขอย่างยั่งยืน

There was a time I thought selflessness was the same as love. I poured into people who never asked how I was doing, gave second chances when the first one already drained me, and called it kindness. It wasn’t until I hit burnout, mentally, emotionally, spiritually that I realized I wasn’t being kin
