Episode 30: High Five Prioritizing – Senia Maymin
Senia Maymin talked about a technique for dealing with priorities in several different spheres of life at once. She calls it High-Five Prioritizing. Every morning and/or every evening, ask yourself 5 quick questions to make sure you are on track. First figure out what your five top areas are. Right now, Senia’s are exercise, family, work, big projects, and keeping the house going. Before COVID-19, her fifth was writing children’s books, but that has to take a backseat for now.. She asks herself morning and evening: 1. How satisfied am I on a scale of 0 to 10 with each area? 2. What can I do to improve my scores?
