175+ Priority Quotes to Inspire You

In this blog post, we are going to talk about the importance of setting priorities.

We also collected the most inspirational priority quotes that will motivate you to get organized. 

Set your priorities for a balanced and happy life

Because we have finite and inexhaustible resources of energy and time, we sometimes end up feeling overwhelmed by things that are evolving with dizzying speed.

Making effective use of these resources becomes vital, and setting priorities in life can help us focus on things that are truly important and that make us feel fulfilled both professionally and personally.

To nurture happiness, we need to focus on the right things, in the right way.

Therefore, it is essential to learn to prioritize the activities that occupy your time and thus fully enjoy every moment of life.

First, order your tasks according to importance, not urgency. It is essential in life to realize what those really important things are.

This will help you prioritize your activities and allocate time to those that really matter.

Do things one at a time, paying close attention to the task you are working on. If you have chosen to do something, focus only on it.

This way you will be able to enjoy every moment you do something really important in life.

In addition, this habit will keep you from the harmful habit of productivity: procrastination can become a barrier to your path to personal and professional success.

Even relationships need to be prioritized. Think about the five most important people in your life.  Once identified, analyze how much time you spend with them.

If you notice that you are giving too little time to the most important people in your life, make a change and focus more on developing and maintaining relationships with these people.

Set those goals that are essential to you. Maybe you want to open your own business, maybe you want to resume your studies and get a degree in the field you are passionate about, or you want to visit all the capitals of Europe.

Place these important goals for you in the top priorities and work to achieve them.

Don’t forget to take into account those essential goals for you that you have managed to achieve so far.

They will motivate you to fight for what you want and will give you a dose of confidence in the future.

Also, stay true to your own beliefs. You are the only one who can decide what is important for your life. Don’t let others change your priorities.

The goals you set are related to what makes you happy, and the work you do that brings you closer to achieving your goal can increase your well-being.

Sure, you may fail in your endeavor, but that doesn’t mean everything is lost.

Other animals make their living by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.” ― Masanobu Fukuoka

(148)” ― Victoria Moran

(” High noon)” ― Erik Pevernagie

7. “Those East Coast rich kids are a different breed, on a fast track to nowhere. Your friends in Seattle are downright Canadian in their niceness. None of you has a cell phone. The girls wear hoodies and big cotton underpants and walk around with tangled hair and smiling, adorned backpacks. Do you know how absolutely exotic it is that you haven’t been corrupted by fashion and pop culture? A month ago I mentioned Ben Stiller, and do you remember how you responded? ‘Who’s that?’ I loved you all over again.” ― Maria Semple

With wondrous potency.” ― William Shakespeare

For you, O broker! there is no other principle but arithmetic. For me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of money. Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims. If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be injustice? Does he owe no debt but money? And are all claims on him to be postponed to a landlord’s or a banker’s?” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

1. “The great opposition to reading is what I allow to fill my time instead of reading.

2. “When we black people commit ourselves to living simply as a political action, as a way of breaking the stress caused by unrelenting hedonistic desire for material objects that are not needed for survival, or essential to well-being, we will not be talking about ebonics.

3. “At the end of the day, you should try to remember that it’s not about the number of followers you have or the numbers of likes, comments, and shares your posts are getting.

It’s the number of people who will remember your birthday like they remember their first name.

It’s the number of people who will invite you to celebrate Christmas or new year’s eve.

It’s the number of people who will actually cross an ocean to see your face.

It’s the number of people who will wipe your tears when one of your parents passes away.

It’s the number of people who will make a slightly larger than a thumb effort to be there for you.” ― Malak El Halabi

I wondered how you stop caring about what you’ve ached over, sweated over. (Thwonk)” ― Joan Bauer

26. “I am convinced that many people spend 80 percent of their time doing meaningless things that add little real value to their lives. Blissfully unaware, life lives them.

Is how you spend your time reflective of your values and your vision? Cut out the waste, and you’ll be amazed at how much time you have to act on your vision. It’s not easy and it takes a lot of discipline. I don’t get to follow every whim or do everything I want to.

Don’t half-back everything, whole-back what really matters.” ― Chris Duffin
