If you have a lot of tasks at hand, you may find it very hard to stay focused on just one thing. Just when you get going on one item, something else comes up and you find your energy waning and your attention split into a dozen different directions.
When you function like this it can be awfully difficult to complete tasks the way you want it done and when it should be done. Learning to prioritize will help you stay on task, tending to one item before moving onto another. When you are busy and continually multi-tasking this can be a hard skill to learn, but it can be made easier through the use of prioritization affirmations.
How to Prioritize Your Tasks
In any given day you may have ten things that you want to get done. You may start out the day by indiscriminately choosing one task, but then you find that another task needs to get done first. This is a hectic way to live your life! What you need to do is prioritize and organize your tasks. You will find that positive affirmations will help with this because they will remind you that everything will be done effectively and efficiently.
How can you prioritize when you have a lot of things to do? Each day, before you leave work (or before bed) list all of the things that you'd like to get done the next day. Be realistic! Don't bother scheduling things in that you know you won't have time to get to and don't waste your energy on things that aren't all that important to complete immediately.
You need to look at the most emergent things first and work back from there. You may find that some things absolutely have to get done today while others are not quite as important and could wait until later in the week. Number the list, with your #1 task being the task that you will start with. This is a much more methodical way to approach your life and you will find that you can get more done when you prioritize.
Of course, you are going to have times when you want to skip something or get off task and this is where your positive affirmations will come in handy. There are a lot of great positive affirmations for you to choose from or you can create your own. Prioritization affirmations can be as simple as, "Everything gets done when I follow through with my plans." This will remind you that you created the plan based on your daily goals and if you just stick to the list then you'd accomplish great things that day!
Prioritizing is something that comes easy to some and not so easy to others. Prioritization affirmations can help everyone! Sometimes these affirmations can simply remind you that you can get everything done without compromising your quality of work, and other times they can simply keep you on track when you're itching to get distracted with something less important. You will have more time to enjoy life when you use positive affirmations because you will find that you are able to make the most out of each moment!

Book/Writing Advice
By: cjdaves157 | 24-07-2008
I am writing a book. Below is an excerpt, looking for opinions and advice.
Given A Choice
I have often tried to imagine what my life would have been like if I could have picked my parents and circumstances in advance. If given a choice before birth I am sure I would have chosen a wealthy, high profile, investment banker father with a mother who spent her entire days planning fundraising soirées for the benefit of underprivileged kids.
My childhood would have been filled with lavish vacations, shopping sprees and summers studying abroad. All of my friends would line up for the chance to stay over at my five story one hundred and fifty room mansion located somewhere off the west coast where the sun was always shining and the olympic size pool was always inviting. My nanny, obviously from some foreign country, would take care of all the daily chores that would have helped me to grow into a responsible adult. My teenage bedroom would have been the size of a normal ranch style house with a closet the size of a three car garage. I would have been the envy of every teenage girl and the crush of every teenage and preteen boy.
I imagine I would have sailed through adolescence and breezed through young adulthood without any obstacles to help shape my moral values. I envision me selecting Civil Law as my profession and the standard successful husband and two and a half kids. My children would grow to become successful adults with professions in the medical, legal and political fields.
After spoiling tons of grandchildren and leaving my mark on the world, I would have died somewhere around the age of ninety-five, quietly in my home under the care of a most wonderful and loving Hospice worker. My life?s achievements and my husband?s pension would ensure that my children and their children would be set financially for life. I am sure that I am not alone in my thoughts of what would have made the perfect atmosphere for the perfect childhood. Some may have chosen more exotic locations, more wealth or maybe more high profile, celebutant parents. I envision that just enough for whatever I wanted would have been perfect enough.
Similar to how infertile couples pick out sperm at a sperm bank I use to think it would have been nice to review the details of what I was being born into. Looking back now I know that choice is not always a good thing. Most children born into the scenario I described above end up killing thirty of their peers in a school yard shooting, after which suicide seems to become their only way out. I believe that there is a higher power that does review the blueprints of families and has a keen sense for why you are placed where you are. Still, when I think back to the sperm analogy used above, I see my parents picking ?purple sperm? and I came out ?green?.
Accepting an apology.
By: bj | 22-07-2008
My 60 year old sister in law told my 25 year old son that he was conceived before marriage. She shared this with him during a social event, giggling and covering her mouth as if she just told a dirty secret.
He was embarrassed and humiliated. He does not understand why she used that forum to share this with him. Our relationship is solid and unaffected by her act.
She has sent me a letter of apology and I am struggling with the acceptance. I believe she is sorry. I know I must forgive.
What is my next step as far as my response. How do I do this?
