High achievers often feel the pressure to overwork and stay on top of everything.



However, true success lies in recognizing that overworking is not sustainable.



Fierce prioritization can be the key here



Societal expectations of what being organized should look like can be misleading



Sometimes, the things that may seem disorganized to others are actually the result of prioritizing essential tasks and goals first.



Identify your top priorities, get organized in those areas, and let go of the need to be perceived as organized in every aspect of your life!



Listen to this week’s episodes for plenty of examples!

Prioritisation is at the heart of Life Work. Being able to effectively prioritise in any given time period reduces overwhelm, and keeps you focused on your key goals.



So what happened when I deprioritised work over the summer?



In this episode we look at some interesting prioritisation ‘maths’ - setting the foundations for you to do your own prioritisation work - a core building block of Life Work.



Prioritisation principles:

[04:55]. No.1 - reflection is the missing ingredient if you want to grow, advance towards your goals and prioritise effectively

[06:00]. No 2. Determining your Life Work prioritisation categories

[08:40]. No. 3 - Some lifework categories have disproportionate impacts on the overall picture (What happened when I deprioritised work over the summer)

[14:27]. No. 4 - just expand your timeframes: effectively prioritising and deprioritising major categories allows you to expand all areas of your life over the longer term.

This episode was a goal of ours in 2022* (I believe I said 2023 in the intro.)

Aside from being a literal pot of gold when it comes to time management, I think the episode itself is a testament to the way Maya sets big goals. I hope you enjoy this episode.
