The power of Priority: putting first thing first

The greatest secret to living effectively on earth is understanding the principle and power of priorities. 

Life on earth holds no greater challenge than the complicating daily demand of choosing among competing alternatives for our limited time. 

Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day, and those decisions
are determined by our priorities. 

How we use our time every day eventually defines our achievements. 

Life was designed to be simple, not complicated, and the key to simplifying life is prioritization.

Identifying the correct and right priority of life is the key to a successful and fulfilled life. 

So then, what is the principle and concept
of priority? 

Priority is defined as:

✓ The principal thing.
✓ Putting first things first.
✓Establishing the most important thing. 
✓Primary focus. 
✓Placing in order of importance. 
✓Placing highest value and worth upon. 
✓First among all others.

Priority refers to the level of importance or urgency assigned to a task, goal, or action.

 It helps determine which tasks should be addressed first and which can be addressed later. 

Prioritizing tasks is a common practice in time management and decision-making to ensure that the most important and time-sensitive activities are completed efficiently. 

Priorities can vary depending on individual goals, organizational needs, and the context in which they are applied.

If our priorities determine the quality of life and dictate all of our actions and behavior, then it is essential that we understand and
identify our priorities. 

The greatest tragedy in life is not death but living with the wrong priorities. 

Life’s greatest challenge is in knowing what to do. And what to do first in your everyday life.

The greatest mistake in life is to be busy but not effective.  And your greatest failure is to be successful in the wrong assignment. 

Your success can easily be measured by the effective use of your time.

The key is breakdown complex objectives and start with one. And you do just by simple trade-off.

When your priorities are correct, you preserve and protect your life. 

Correct priority is the principle of progress because when you establish your priority according to your purpose and goals then
your progress may be guaranteed. 

Correct priority protects your time.

When you set the right priorities, then you use your time for intentional purposes; your time is not abused or wasted. 

Correct priority protects your energy, your talents and gifts; your decisions and discipline.

 Correct priority simplifies your life.

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems).
