Setting Priorities.

This week I really enjoyed the readings and videos. When watching the video about Stephen R. covey “The 7 habits of highly effective people”, I specially pondered about the third one, “Put First Things First”.

Setting priorities is a hard task for me. In my days I have many things to do and I struggle to find out what are the priorities. Moreover, I have been feeling that I haven’t put the Lord first in my life the way I should, so I took action upon it.

I took some time to go to the temple, to read more the scriptures and to look for revelation in a more specific way.  I feel that these decisions lead me to be a more productive person this week. I could identify some tender mercies from the Lord this week and I feel grateful for those moments.

I also enjoyed learning about the keys to Mastery, in George Leonard’s book. As a teacher, the process of learning and of overcoming plateaus  are very interesting topics that have direct influence in my job.

I have also enjoyed the book because I love learning. I think I fall into the “hacker” category of learners, those who start and plateau after some time, and are ok with it. I have had several hobbies in my life and have been interested in many different things. I know I have plateau in many, many areas and because of this I can do one thousand different things but I don’t excel in many. I want to excel in many areas, and I hope I can apply the principles from the book in my own life.
