Setting priorities straight

1. Family (urgent)
2. Friends (urgent)
3. Work (urgent)
4. Self (urgent)
5. Friends (normal)
6. Work (normal)
7. Friends (leisure)
8. Family (normal)
9. Family (leisure)
10. Self (normal)
11. Self (leisure)

There’s something wrong with this list. As far as I’ve thought about it (four minutes now), it’s accurate, but that doesn’t make it feel any less wrong.

I think I’m going to drastically rearrange it soon. Perhaps make my own leisure more important than work.

Is it right that I can only think of four broad categories within which to categorize everything?

I think I have a new motto: “live your life such that filling in old acquaintances on your new goings ons takes longer than a TV commercial.”

… I think my motto needs some work.

Do you know anyone who’s hiring?
