Your life becomes chaotic when you get distracted by new changes and challenges in life, your brain cannot focus on present movement and responsibilities, you constantly think about that new important thing which either make you happy and excited or sad and anxious. That’s the big reason people lose present time and regret losing it later. Here is an example story for you…
Linda, a scholar girl of her University, started using a dating App just to take little break from her nerdy lifestyle. Here she met a guy Johnathan, they have stated dating each other. Both of them have liked each other they started falling in love. Linda and Johnathan are university students and pursuing professional studies. Because of their relationship, they were not focusing on their studies. They got addicted to each other, they chatted, dated, had party and hung out quite often and neglecting their studies. Both were very happy until Linda’s semester exam result came out, which was too shocking for her. She got 4.0 CGP in her exams, she cried a lot as she never got this much lower grade in her entire educational jounery. She regretted over her neglectful attitude toward her studies for her new relationship. She not only ignored her studies but other important aspects of her life such as her family, friends and college activities.
Johnathan felt sad for Linda, he tried hard to console her. Linda and Johnathan both decided to find out a practical solution which could neither risk their career & education nor their relationship. As Linda is a scholar, her insights blinked and she got a practical solution, which she named ‘Priority Time Table‘. In priority time table one could divide his/her time according to present needs and priorities or the particular area of life which’s needed to be focused on…like relationship, family, studies, careers, childcare, care of old & sick family member, Job, business, social service, health etc.
Linda and Johnathan selected top five priorities of their current life and included them in their Priority Time Table from high to moderate ratio. They gave high priority to studies and career and moderate priority to family and their relationship. They gonna continue this time table till they finish their studies, after that they could make changes in it according to future needs. That’s their Priority Time Table which has made them successful in every aspect of life. They are now happiness living together and having successful careers.
We all face similar dilemmas and situations which Linda and Johnathan faced in story. Our matters could be different like work Vs family life, childcare Vs career, relationship Vs studies, business vs quality time with family and so on. We need to remove ‘Vs’ from our dilamas if both the situations are important enough to pursue, we just need to make a perfect priority time table in which we could prioritise our current needs from high to moderate ratio. That’s how we could improve all the aspects of our life, we will not be the victim of dilemma anymore. If Linda and Johnathan wanted so they could have given up their relationship for their career or vice versa they would never been successful in both later in life, they found a middle way to solve it. The good thing about priority time table is, you focus on all aspects of your life without getting distracted by other one. As you set your priorities according to present needs. You should also try it once if you are wanting best of both worlds.
