Success comes from undertaking and prioritizing tasks that add the highest value, as opposed to doing tasks that don’t add the highest value, but are quick and easy.

When urgency is tied to the highest, value-adding tasks, time management automatically falls into place. Intensity brings about the focus and concentration to elevate the tasks to their highest creativity and quality.

In the absence of prioritized urgency and quality-driven intensity, we’ll fall into the trap of not completing our tasks on time. When the deadline arrives, we’ll experience stress. We need to take what we consider important and reframe it as urgent. Then, we’ll complete what we need to complete without the stress of anxiousness, frustration, worry, disappointment, overwhelm, depression, and anger. Urgency makes us plan. Intensity is required to gain concentration and focus to apply the highest performance and achieve ongoing excellence.

One of the most rewarding Habits for success is to prioritize what adds the highest value in whatever we’re doing. It is only then that even our mundane tasks — an intrinsic part of adding the highest value — become our passion and automatically set us up to utilize our time properly and most effectively. The outcome is a stress-free state of mind that not only nurtures and supports urgency — embedded in Oneness — but fosters creative innovation that delivers sustainable success.
