Balancing Priorities

A priority is something that deserves your attention before other things. Everyone has more things to do than time to do them — so deciding what to do first is one of the most important skills you can develop. When you manage priorities well, you feel less stressed, meet your commitments, and still have time for fun.

What this lesson teaches

2Explain why deciding what comes first helps you stay in control of your time
