As a changemaker, we need to be regularly exploring, reconfirming, and weaving our true priorities into our daily schedules…
I was listening to high-performance expert Brendon Burchard the other day talking about time management. This is a topic I’ve immersed myself in for the last few years and really nerd-out on, so there isn’t much I haven’t heard about it.
BUT then he said something I hadn’t heard…
“Time management is actually mortality awareness.”
BOOM!
He went on to explain that when we truly understand what a finite amount of time we have as beings in this world, we start to get really clear on how we want to spend that time and manage it accordingly… time management.
So, if you’re having trouble managing your time, there’s a good chance that you’re not connected enough – day in and day out – to your true priorities.
Focused goals, a tangible strategy, and immersive habits
For example, someone might say healing the earth is their top priority, but instead of dedicating an hour daily towards climate crisis projects, they burn through an hour every day aimlessly scrolling on their phone.
It’s not that they don’t care deeply for the fate of the planet and all her inhabitants, but on a daily basis, aimless digital consumption is showing up in their life as a bigger priority.
That’s why a well-lived life requires you to regularly…
- Explore what is most meaningful to you.
- Set laser-focused goals to support these priorities.
- Create a tangible and manageable strategy for making these goals a reality (the more you break things down, the better!) that includes accountability.
- Put habits in place that will keep you immersed in the energy of the meaningful things in your life. This will be the fuel to help you execute your strategy.
As a changemaker, this priority management is even more vital for you.
Not getting focused enough in your goals will leave you too overwhelmed to build something inspiring.
Not having a solid strategy will have you chasing your tail instead of ending injustices.
And not keeping your true priorities GLISTENING will lead to days and weeks of chasing the shiny ball instead of feeling empowered to create change.
So, if you haven’t already gone through steps 1-4 for 2024, be sure to check out the REPLAY of the first The Changemakers Sessions of 2024: Focusing & Activating Your Year’s Goals. It’s an amazing way to power up the year for you and what you care about the most.

REPLAY: Focusing & Activating Your Year’s Goals
This year ahead desperately needs changemakers. So, in the year’s first installment of The Changemaker Sessions, we dug into getting focused and activated!
Feeling lost about where best to put your energies? Not sure what projects are right for you? Feeling overwhelmed by the need to get it all done?
In this spirited and hands-on workshop, I take you through a process to identify, energize, and execute your work in the world this year to make it the most effective possible.
You’ll brainstorm possible goals and then use a 5-step formula (passion, assets, impact, ways of working, energy) to focus in on the best ways for you to contribute at this juncture.
I then help you to create a step-by-step gameplan for making your goals a reality and give you tips for staying committed to and inspired in your work ahead.
Watch with paper and pen… ready to work!!
