Insight
Everyday, we need reminders of what takes priority. I found an article with 18 productivity apps to help you stay on task. Of course, we struggle with getting things done but most of that struggle occurs because of our inability to sort our priorities.
Do you remember when we tied strings around our finger? We did this to literally have the reminder at our fingertips - a place we won’t forget. Now, we have productivity apps at our fingertips. But with so many tools, I don’t think we get more done according to our priorities.
Thanks for reading! I hope you continue your sojourning with me. Journaling is hard work, and even harder to do every day. It’s a habit, a pattern maker, and is healing for your soul.

Direction
Today, set aside your social media, apps and reminders and to this one thing: make a list.
On a real piece of paper, write down highest priority. Then, write down the 3 contenders for first place. Finally fill up the page with things of lesser priority until you reach the bottom of the page.
Cross out each task, commitment or schedule until the end of the day. Resolve the list by assessing how well you maintained your priorities and rejoice at how much you accomplished. This happens all because you brought pen to paper and made a list.

“Journaling helps me dump my thoughts onto paper like a trusted friend, I can think clearly all day knowing everything is saved between those pages.”
A clean list reveals a clear mind - amazing!
