About not prioritizing “Easy”. Timestamp 3:52 - “Just because there is something easy to do, doesn’t mean it HAS TO BE DONE today...” As soon as you said it, it echoed in my ears...I realized I’m doing the easiest tasks on my important projects more so than the tasks I should be doing today on those projects.
I used to live the life of responding to others emergencies and getting pulled in so many directions every day. Finally I discovered a magical word :"NO". There is freedom in those two letters. It took me years to learn to say them when people and their problems came calling. I felt a responsibility to help others all the time, but it was always at the expense of my goals. If you get nothing else out of this gem of a video, learn to say NO.
Having kids--especially young ones--means we're in customer service all day. Everything is unique with kids. Our kids need our attention and their agenda is our agenda. Don't forget parents in these time management tips. We respond all day until the kids are in bed. So really, this video is about prioritizing AT WORK. Then it works. Thanks!
It's definitely harder now; my wife & I had our 1st he's just starting to let us sleep at night after 1/2 a year! Some days I'm like there isn't enough coffee in the world to get me going today! I guess it won't be as bad if we didn't wait till our 30's to have kids.
Thanks, Brendon!! I needed to hear this. I spend so much time answering emails and giving out free style advice to individuals... that I lose time I could be spending making videos/blogs/writing to help reach more women. I appreciate the reality check. Love your videos! Erin
make a committment to yourself and do the things he says for 3 days... 5 days.. 7 days... 1 month.. whatever your comfortable and think you can do.. Set that goal and do it for that many days.. You'll feel more on your mission and realize the priorities you need to get what you need done. Progress truly creates motivation.
I love that he is not afraid to say the unpopular truth - you can't have everything always. In order to succeed on your way this must be your priority - even if the demands of other self-responsible adults or things that do not bring you closer to your best self must go. Thank you big time once more.
OH MY you hit the nail on the head with ALL of this. This message is perfect timing for me. I am less than a year away from being a Boomer and having raised multiple children, it is a hard business to say NO yet is IMPERATIVE for self preservation. Just got you your book this morning and the planner....WOWZERS. can't wait to become more focused and energized. Thank You.
Hi Brendon! Insightful! I used to say 'yes' to everything people requested me, getting me stressed all the time, then frustrated and angry 'cause I couldn't reach their deadlines or accomplish my important tasks. It'd happened for many years... until I learnt to say 'no'! Since then, I felt freed from too many problems, and I started to live happier and more close managed to my personal agenda. I'm still on that track of 'learning', but surely I've been winning a lot 'till then. Thanks a lot for sharing this post! Have a good one!
This is another message that really hits my heart, and THANK YOU for the encouragement. It's not easy, but I really do want to live "my" life, not others. Sometimes, I have to learn to say "NO", no matter how hard it may be.
Thank you for all your energy and love. Yo teached me so much, and to keep things that matters in the first place. A big hug from Argentina, Brendon and team.
1. Stop prioritizing easy. Instead prioritize progress. 2.Asking yourself "What will 3 things should I prioritize that will help me progress?" 3. Learn to say no. 4. Ask yourself "What is important to me today?" 5. Start prioritizing more financial freedom, social freedom...
Thanks so much Brendon this video is ultra relevant to me. I'd been living other people's lives and moods too much, getting caught up in the "busy work" not prioritising freedom and signifance! Exactly what I needed to hear without realising it!
This is one of my favourite videos Brendon! I love this subject and your way of conceptualising it! I can watch it again and again, thank you! Big hug :)
Thank you for creating this video! This is such an important aspect of self-care, that many forget about. I’ve added it to the extensive self-care playlists I curate on my channel 💕
This video is awesome. I literally have not watched a video of yours that I haven't loved. Thank you so much for what you do. Also, when you said the part before your last point about us expecting you the be the "positivity guy". First of all, you are. Secondly, it's Completely positive for people to put their foot down and be their best self. Thanks again Brendon
Brendon Burchard, thanks man for the words of wisdom! I loved your interview on Dean Graziosi's winning the state of mind series. What you said about social experiences has helped me so much!
It's my lunch break and a great time to catch up with your videos! I think that counts as using my time wisely :) Thank you for sharing your wonderful insights, ideas and those common sense things that are so easy to forget :)
You are fantastic! I was having trouble, should I be a mum full time FULLTIME and try to make my house better each day, or should I include time for my writing dreams? I should include time for writing! I was prioritising easy! No one else will see my house. It’s ok. It’s not bad, but it isn’t perfect. With 4 little kids, it will NEVER be perfect, but if I don’t spend at least an hr a day writing, I’ll never finish my book either. Thank you so much. You really changed the way I was thinking xx
Amazing! I have the same approach. I was always this way. For sometime I was wondering if is something wrong with me 😞. People don't realize that, the crazy ones are the normal ones. This behavior definitely pushing people away, and all they see is selfishness. I have been called that many times. Even by my parents. People don't understand that life is about "You" not about other people. People are wasting time to get to know strangers, and they don't know them selfs.
how do you do this if everyone expects you to handle their everyday needs. how do you communicate the change between putting others little needs first to your own?
You learn something even if your a "slave" of others.Because then others love you and you do things together and they help to fullfill your dream.You must help but not being a victim.
Ok, I'm really listening. However prioritising your work load when you work in the public sector. How can I manage this? When deadlines and tasks are changing 247? Xx This has helped be more aware. I have never said no to anyone. But the time starts now. Thank you so much! Xx
Thanks you made me realize what i have been missing the whole time thanks u alot.... :) From now on my prioritize r my family n me then the rest of the world

1. 2:10 Stop prioritising easy
2. 5:30 Stop prioritizing false emergencies
3. 11:00 Start prioritizing freedom
Felipe Xymind 4:20 prioritize progress
thanks
Those are all the topics discussed? 😩
*start
I think people should be grateful for the whole video not just picking out parts they want to hear. None of my business what others do but it's true.

i feel the reality in every single words you shared to us..thanks a lot sir, you have no idea how you really help people in a day to day..
''What is truly helpful to people is you living your truth'' - amazing quote.
Thank you for all your energy and love. Yo teached me so much, and to keep things that matters in the first place. A big hug from Argentina, Brendon and team.
Great Videos but what is so wonderful is the millions of individuals you have reached and touched with those enriching words
I really like Brendon!, he seems so real :)
Pete- I could watch him all day
I met him in person a few weeks ago, you are right. Very real.
1. Stop prioritizing easy. Instead prioritize progress.
2.Asking yourself "What will 3 things should I prioritize that will help me progress?"
3. Learn to say no.
4. Ask yourself "What is important to me today?"
5. Start prioritizing more financial freedom, social freedom...
I don't know you personally but I like how you seem pretty authentic and you move at your own pace! I wish you much more
success
Timeless message. I was surprised when I saw this video is from 9 years ago because it still rings true even now.
Thanks so much Brendon this video is ultra relevant to me. I'd been living other people's lives and moods too much, getting caught up in the "busy work" not prioritising freedom and signifance! Exactly what I needed to hear without realising it!

Thank you sir for all your great videos.
Always great videos Brendon! Keep the good work. You are an inspiration!
Hey Brendon, would you please be able to do a video on dealing with the concept of death and how not to let this bring you down?

How could you give this Video a dislike?
how do you do this if everyone expects you to handle their everyday needs. how do you communicate the change between putting others little needs first to your own?
Needed to hear this. Thank you!
Very useful video. I can relate a lot to this. Thank you.
Love this ! Don’t revolve around others false emergencies and don’t enable
You learn something even if your a "slave" of others.Because then others love you and you do things together and they help to fullfill your dream.You must help but not being a victim.

Stop giving away the little pieces of time then end up broke with time and start prioritizing FREEDOM!
Ok, I'm really listening. However prioritising your work load when you work in the public sector. How can I manage this? When deadlines and tasks are changing 247? Xx
This has helped be more aware. I have never said no to anyone. But the time starts now. Thank you so much! Xx
really love this guys videos, really motivating.

I didnt want to know what to prioritize, I wanted to know how to prioritize! Helping others is more important to me then that..
Bro. your vids really put me in check. thanks kid.
Can we prioritize progress by Eisenhower Matrix, too?
This was really helpful, thank you once again.
i Love it Brendon. this message is Priceless!!!
