Recently have been reading the book 'Four thousand weeks' by Oliver Burkeman. The authors share insights that are ;

• you can't get everything done on your never-ending to-do list.

• the more you clean your deck (completing all the relevant tasks), you figure out it gets filled sooner than often.

He explains as because our time is very finite, we must focus on the most important activities from our to-do list that makes it worthy of that block of time.

'If you try to find time for your most valued activities by first dealing with all the other important demands on your time, in the hope that there'll be some leftover at the end, you will be disappointed.'

What is the 'pay yourself first' thing ?

If a person swipes away a portion of his pay cheque the day he receives it and spread it away into savings or investments, or uses it for paying off debt, he will probably never feel the absence of that cash. He will do the rest of the expenses and pay off bills as if he never had that portion of money, to begin with.

But, if he 'pays himself last' instead - buying what he needs and hoping there will be some money remaining at the end to put it into savings - he will usually find that there isn't any.

THE SAME LOGIC APPLIES TO TIME.

What graphic novelist and creativity coach Jessica Abel says about this is -

"If you don't save a bit of your time for yourself, now, out of every week, there is no moment in the future when you'll magically be done with everything and have loads of free time."

So, the certain activity that matters to you - the only way to be sure that it will happen is to do some of it today, no matter how little, no matter how many great big rocks or distractions may be begging for your attention.
