    How to Choose Your Priorities

    August 21, 2020 /

    Have you ever wondered about how to choose your priorities in a way that leads to an effective and happy life? It’s been on my mind lately as we’re moving into fall and getting back to a more normal routine.  How can we choose our priorities in a way that helps us meet our goals? https://youtu.be/VzJtkqe-UMQ Choosing Our Priorities Wisely Choosing our priorities wisely can make such a difference not only in the pace of our lives but also in the goals we set.
