Creating a Rich, Imbalanced Life

Here's a great worksheet that we've developed in our company to help our team get great with priority management. The philosphy is simple: balance of time is the worst idea ever. The idea is to have complete imbalance with the majority of your time spent on things that matter most and a limited amount of time on the things that aren't core priorities. There are only a few questions and each question should take several minutes of thought before writing.

What are your top 4 priorities?
1. ______________________________________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________________________________
3. ______________________________________________________________________
4. ______________________________________________________________________

Do you plug these into your weekly calendar? If no, why not?

Where do you currently waste time? Can you eliminate that?

Is there anything else you can do that will earn more time for your top priorities?
