Working with priorities effectively involves a structured approach to managing my tasks and responsibilities. Here are some steps which help me.

1. Identify Your Priorities: Start by listing all the tasks and goals you need to accomplish. Then, prioritize them based on their importance and urgency.

2. Use the Eisenhower Matrix: This matrix categorizes tasks into four quadrants based on their urgency and importance:

• Urgent and Important: Do these tasks immediately.

• Important, but Not Urgent: Schedule these tasks for later.

• Urgent, but Not Important: Delegate these tasks if possible.

• Not Urgent and Not Important: Consider eliminating or postponing these tasks.

3. Set SMART Goals: When setting priorities, make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). This helps clarify your objectives.

4. Create a To-Do List: Organize your tasks into a daily or weekly to-do list. Focus on completing high-priority items first.

5. Time Management: Allocate dedicated time blocks for working on your priorities. Avoid multitasking and minimize distractions during these periods.

6. Delegate When Possible: If you have tasks that can be delegated to others, do so. Delegating frees up your time for more critical tasks.

7. Regularly Review and Adjust: Periodically review your priorities. Your priorities may change based on shifting circumstances or new information. Adjust your plan accordingly.

8. Use Technology: Consider using task management apps or tools to help you track and manage your priorities efficiently.

9. Practice the Pomodoro Technique: This technique involves working on a task for a set time (e.g., 25 minutes) and then taking a short break. It can help maintain focus and productivity.

10. Learn to Say No: Don’t overcommit yourself. Politely decline tasks or commitments that do not align with your current priorities.

11. Seek Feedback: Discuss your priorities with colleagues or mentors to gain insights and ensure alignment with organizational goals.

12. Maintain Work-Life Balance: Prioritize personal well-being and work-life balance to prevent burnout and maintain long-term productivity.

My priority management is a skill that has developed over time. By being flexible and open to adjusting my priorities as needed to stay on track and achieve all my goals. Liam

Most of us, through our genes and family circumstances bring individual and intrinsic qualities with us into life. With a bit of luck, through childhood, adolescence and young adulthood , these qualities crystallize out and can be recognized as Personal qualities and aspect of our genius. These areas of genius, are as manifold as human life itself.

When our work finds its expression through this talent or genius, we can, and mostly are happy, balanced, and inflow with life.

Personally I wasn’t one of the lucky ones, it’s taken half a lifetime to discover that in writing, creative writing and poetry my intrinsic genius lies. Liam

Find More Love
by Liam

I’ve looked for Love since the beginning,
These pieces, each a part of the find,
Found in a puzzle called living,
Lost to my memory and mind.

Hidden for all to discover,
Written for all to read,
Spoken for all to listen,
Is pain that I sometimes bleed.

Cast off my dark cloak of fire,
I’ll ride through the darkness of doubts,
Burn too, I’ll with your desire,
Upon clouds, my soul screams and shouts.

My eyes,
My words,
My hearing,
Understanding stands too in my way.

For alone it’s love which is waiting,
On a rainbow to meet me today.

1. Cultivate Gratitude: Focus on the positive aspects of life and practice gratitude daily. Appreciating what you have rather than dwelling on what you lack can bring immense joy.

2. Nurture Relationships: Prioritize meaningful connections with family and friends. Healthy relationships are a cornerstone of happiness, providing support and emotional well-being.

3. Embrace Balance: Strive for a balanced life that includes work, leisure, and self-care. Finding equilibrium in various aspects of life can reduce stress and increase overall contentment.

4. Live in the Present: Don’t dwell on the past or worry excessively about the future. Being present in the moment and mindful of your experiences can lead to greater happiness.

5. Pursue Passions: Engage in activities and hobbies that bring you joy and fulfillment. Pursuing your passions fosters a sense of purpose and satisfaction in life.

These initial five ideas were planted many years ago, and since have grown to become bearers of many new projects.

Life just keeps moving on and it’s always becoming better.

Lots of love, Liam.

A few years ago our Church choir spent a year training to sing Händle’s incredible piece of work written in 1741, The Messiah.

He created a piece based on three concepts: the story of the nativity and its prophecy; that of the crucifixion and redemption of mankind; and a commentary on the Christian soul and its victory over death. In each of these three parts, the chorus is absolutely at the heart of the work, complemented by four vocal soloists and an orchestra.

Those forces deliver some of Handel’s most heart-stopping music – gobsmackingly dramatic and effective, profoundly touching and spiritual.!

This is my all-time best album by far. Liam

That which brings me closer to myself.

That which helps me to create a healthy body.

That which enables me to understand all others .

That which supports me in becoming my deepest true self.

Liam 🎼❤️

Life without the beauty and magic of music would be a colorless existence, devoid of emotional depth and inspiration. Music infuses our days with meaning, evoking joy, healing sorrow, and uniting souls. It’s the universal language that paints our world with vibrant hues of emotion and connection. Read the poem. Liam.
