Being orderly and arranged can be very annoying, frustrating and boring. The fact that you need to organise things according to how relevant they are discourages people from planning and prioritising.
So many people give different definitions to priority, but I say that priority is doing the right thing at the right time. Priority is arranging events and plans according to how important they are.
Jimmy buys a car and cruises it down the street, Jimmy's office is an eight-hour drive from his house, so getting a car might be the major thing on his list. Jerry lives in the same street with Jimmy, Jerry really needs to pay his house rent but feels intimidated by Jimmy. He takes the money for house rent and buys a car, What do you say to that?
EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT BUT ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT
There is a difference between necessity and compulsory. Human want is insatiable, as we want virtually everything that attracts us from fashion to education, and much more, also we want to attend to so many things as soon as we can but all these things cannot be gotten at once and as such it is necessary to prioritise everything you do.
Whatever thing you place above another has more value and it's more important. Misplacing priority can be a very annoying thing.
I was talking to a friend who just bought a car, He works in an office about 10 minutes drive from his rented apartment. When he got the car I asked him why he bought the car and what purpose was the car going to serve since he only goes to the office and comes back home. He told me that he bought the car because a junior colleague just got a car. I then asked about his building project and he said he was going to sell the car after a while so he could continue his building project.
One thing I do not do is teach people how to spend your time and money because most of them will feel insulted so I just asked him if he taught about it well and will he gain if he wants to sell the car and he said No but he would have enjoyed the luxury.
I do not want to judge his decisions and actions but I hope he is doing the right thing.
WHEN EVERYTHING IS A PRIORITY
In some cases, everything around us looks like a priority, all needs to be done almost at the same time. In that case, you need to take somethings into consideration.
Which is more important and which can be left.
You can make a list of everything that needs to be done, writing them and arranging them according to how important they are (Economics is needed there)Try to see how valuable what you are about to do is and what makes the rest less valuable. Try as much as you can to be very flexible when arranging according to importance, do not be biased as you will be deceiving yourself
Will doing the first thing on your list affect the rest from being done? This is a vital question.

Hello @gbenga
You've been my mentor and motivator and you will continue to be.
Most a times we have bunch of activities that needed to be attend to, but some are important than the other but to choose one in order not to put the other in dangers might sometimes be difficult, but thank God for a post like this.
am looking forward to learning more from you sir.
@maintain4real-eu
Thank you very much for always going through my post. I'm glad you liked it
This cracked me up,people fail to understand that life is an individual race,if you keep running in comparison of others track,yours would be a failed race.
I know sm1 that made a likely mistake,he was settled after serving sm1, he didnt have a house but he bought an expensive car and married a wife,now the woman have left him
We should always set our priorities right, prior proper preparation prevents poor perfrmance .
Most people do not know how to place priority, they just do whatever they like without knowing what they need and want
favourite , It looks like a beautiful sharing. I wanted to thank you before I read it. I wish the continuation of your success . I'm following you . Take care of yourself, my dear friend.
When it turns that way then we tackled the perishable first according to their elapsed time.
Buying a car for work is fine but paying the rent is the perishable here, we can save money for car in a long period of time without any conflict of interest.
But buying a car in detriment of house rent attracts so many conflicts because even the landlord might found it hard to believe that there is no money left for his rent seeing the car packed, lol 😂
Thanks @gbenga
That's how humans think, they want to enjoy luxury forgetting the fact that they need to prioritise
Thanks for that handy information.
My pleasure @teslim, I'm glad you read my blog
Seriously sir, you have just hit the nail on the head. I am surprised how youths think nowadays, its as though we have lost our sense of priority. I read a news few days ago where a teenager commited suicide because her ‘boyfriend' dumped her - that is the world we live in (one of misplaced priority or prefrence), i wish the world sees this post, i am going to share the link on fb so the youths may get sense. Thanks sir for this wonderpiece
Good advice! :D
Thanks :)
