Focus, Lacey, Focus

A couple weeks ago I went to a FranklinCovey workshop to learn how to focus on achieving my highest priorities. Not feeling too motivated by the workshop, only recently I implemented what I was taught.

Over the course of the last few weeks, this Blog has begun to be one of those priorities because I find joy in it. While I love posting whatever is swirling around in my brain, I've realized that my focus needs to change, just a bit, to other priorities.

I received another calling in my Ward. (Yes, I already have one, but it's not too time intensive, so I suppose there’s always room for more.) And, tonight I met with the women I'll be serving with. I realized this new calling has to be a priority, too.

Isn't the value of time a funny thing? It can be so precious, and yet feel so insignificant when there's time to waste.

However, I’m motivated to have the best of both worlds:

Do everything I’d like to make a priority (this includes cooking dinner, and preparing for my new calling), while finding time to take a break every now and again to enjoy those small moments of pure bliss (maybe I really will finish ‘Atlas Shrugged’).

Who knows? I actually could find bliss in both worlds. (Really... Cooking? Why not.)

So, maybe my daily dose of ‘Gilmore Girls,’ or a small nap (err, 2 hours) on Sunday won’t be such a priority anymore, but I’ll have more time to handle all those priorities, and eventually find time for everything… ('Gilmore' included.)
