This month inside the Simply Convivial Circle we’re talking all about procedure lists – when to keep them and how to keep them simple.

One key principle that applies is keeping them short & specific. But that’s harder than it sounds! So today I’m sharing an excerpt from a member-only mentoring session where we discussed what a priority is and how it affects our planning. I think you’ll find it helpful as you attempt to choose what matters most and what the right next thing is.

When it’s hard to get started because there’s too much to do, procedure checklists help us prioritize our tasks and give us the shortcut to momentum we need.

What is a priority? Can you even have more than one?

In this episode we discuss how to find your priorities and what it looks like to use them. Enjoy!
