how to organize your life and put priorities in perspective

And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace. You must master your time instead of becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time. You have to evaluate your activities in the light of what is really important to you. You have to stop the clock and do some serious thinking about who you are and where you are going. On a regular basis, take stock of yourself and what you are doing. You feel that your life is running you, rather than that you are running your life. Pretty soon, you lose all sense of control. That is, instead of clearly deciding what you want to do, you continually react to what is happening around you. This sense of being on a never-ending treadmill can cause you to fall into the “reactive/responsive” mode of living. Most people feel overwhelmed with responsibilities and activities, and the harder they work, the further behind they fall. Perhaps the greatest single problem that people have today is “time poverty.” Working people have too much to do and too little time.
