As much as the Internet and free resources has unlocked new opportunities that can change your life, it has made the ability to prioritize incredibly difficult. And it's only getting harder.

This is why you reach the end of the day and you suddenly look up and wonder how you didn't get anything important done. So what can you do? Focus on creating a prioritization system. Start with identifying the one thing you want to move the most and keep your eyes locked on it. Build a rule set on how you will maintain it. This will help rewire your brain and unconsciously put emphasis on the task. For more on this, make sure you follow.
