Timing

"I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything.. at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything."
Dan Millman

Are you good at prioritizing, or do you just feel overwhelmed at all the things you thnk you need to do. How do you make decisions about what activities you need to do now, what activities you need to do later, and what activities you really don't need to do at all? The first thing you need to do is to determine what is important to you. What do you value? What do you value most of all, that you would be really unhappy if it were missing in your life. What is your mission, your purpose in life? What are your goals? Until you can answer all of these questions, prioritizing your activities is going to be very hard because you won't have a benchmark to judge their importance against.

Once you have determined what your priorities are, what actions are most important for you to take, then you need to determine when to take them. After you get rid of the unimportant activities in your life, you'll have much more room to fit in the important ones. Which of those have to be done right now or they will lose their value? Which of them can be done later and still be worthwhile? How worthwhile will they be tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or next year? Make sure you do the most important and urgent activities first. Then do things based on how much value they will lose over time. Once you've identified priorities, timing is everything.
