What Top Priorities in Life Should We Have? (11 Examples)
BY ERIC
Sometimes in life we can feel like everything is important. As a result, we struggle to get anything done. We can feel like there isn’t enough time in our days to do all of our tasks.
If that’s your mindset, you may need to set some priorities. Not having a clear sense of your priorities makes it harder to manage your time.
With your time mismanaged, it can be more of a struggle to make any progress
with your goals. Taking on a large number of responsibilities will only overwhelm you.
Determining your priorities is a key factor to accomplishing what matters to you in life.
Being clear on them allows you to make the best decisions.
If you’re unsure of what your top priorities should be, the suggestions I’ve listed later
in this article will help get you started. But first, let’s breakdown this idea deeper.
What are priorities?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, priority means something given
or meriting attention before competing alternatives. It’s the meaningful and
important areas in life that we put more time and effort into over other things.
They ‘re the relationships, activities, or practices that we choose to value most.
Instead of dealing with the stress of everything being important, you have something
to be focused on first. You can be more able to say no to certain requests of your time.
You can be more disciplined in what you choose to do in your day. When you have your
top life priorities set, it can guide you in what tasks to focus on in your day.
How are priorities different from goals?
A goal is the end objective to what you’re trying to achieve. Let’s say for example you want to get a certain grade in a class. You would need to make choices such as studying or going to a tutor a priority. Things related to school would be put first, and you’d say no to choices that would keep you from achieving your goal.
Why you should have priorities
It’s no fun when you feel indecisive in your decision making. It’s no fun to feel anxiety about whether you’re making the best choices in life. You can develop confidence in
your decision-making through having clearly defined priorities. You can be less burned
out with not having to try to do everything.
Your priorities may change over time, but no matter what you prioritize, it’s important
to have them to be more productive and less stressed. Here are some examples you can consider for deciding what priorities you’re going to have in life.
These are in no particular order of importance.
You can decide which of these should be your top ones.
1. Physical well-being
Our well-being is what allows us to be alive to enjoy life. Without looking at a study,
it’s probably true most people who are physically unwell are not that happy.
Vice versa, people who are physically well probably are happier.
A lot of mental issues can be linked to whether one is living a lifestyle of wellness.
People who are inactive and constantly looking at screens tend to be more anxious and depressed. Additionally, when we’re not as active in life, we put ourselves at risk for other physical ailments.
People who aren’t physically fit also tend to have less energy. If you don’t have
as much energy, you’re less motivated to do what’s necessary for your happiness.
We should all choose to make being physically well important to our lives.
That mainly means getting enough sleep, eating right, and exercising.
Taking care of those three basic things can make a world of difference
in your overall physical wellness.
2. Mental well-being
There’s a circular effect when you take care of yourself mentally and physically.
The better you take care of yourself physically, the better you’ll feel mentally.
The better you feel mentally, the more you’ll take care of yourself physically.
It’s hard to want to eat well and exercise when you’re feeling low.
It’s important to do what you can to nurture your emotions.
Take moments in your day to breathe and relax.
Allow yourself space to pause and relieve some of your burdens through meditation.
Write in a journal or take a walk outside in nature.
If you need to talk to someone, don’t be ashamed to seek out professional help.
Our world would be much better off if more of us sought therapy.
Taking care of our mental well-being is something that should be important to everyone.
3. Life purpose
We all have hopes, dreams and passions in life.
Ideas we’ve thought about since childhood, or a purpose we discovered in our adulthood.
Whichever the case is for you, it can be something you can make important in your life. Take time to do something every day that gets you closer to your dream.
Put together a long-term plan of success to make your purpose in life more possible. Include ways you can make yourself more prepared for potential opportunities.
Some of you may not even know your life purpose now.
If that’s the case, it should be even more prioritized.
Go out and try new things. Take on some different challenges in life you’ve never considered. It’s through living and experiencing life we discover what we really like.
Take time to get out and do things more to discover your purpose if you haven’t,
then put a plan together to pursue it.
4. Family
Family is a tricky one. I’ve met people who make everything in their life.
I’ve also met other people who don’t care to have much to do with their families.
It all varies based on whether someone had positive or negative experiences growing up. The way I see it, even if your family life hasn’t been the best, it could still perhaps be prioritized.
It just might be in a different way than most people. No matter how your parents
may have been, you still wouldn’t be in this world without them.
If you can help them out in some way, that would be a good thing to do.
If you’re not close with your siblings, you can still be there for them if they need help.
Just be sure it doesn’t have a significant negative impact on your life. Family, whether
it’s the one you grew up with or the ones you found in adulthood, is a good thing to make matters in your life.
5. Relationships
Beyond family, your relationships in general can be something you make time for in life. I’ve mentioned before that a Harvard study noted one of the biggest factors to a long life
is happy relationships.
If your relationship with your friends, your partner,
or family members is a negative one, you need to find a way to fix them.
Sit down with those people and talk about why the relationship has felt negative for you. Have a real heart-to-heart conversation with them.
Pay attention to how much they’re listening and understanding you,
versus waiting until they can speak and defend themselves.
If you get to a point where you no longer feel respected, you might have to make a tough decision.
If you’ve prioritized your mental well-being, then for the sake of it,
you might have to cut the negative people out.
6. Financial well-being
Money is something we pretty much all have to focus on in life.
Without it, it’s extremely difficult to take care of ourselves and our families.
There’s a lot of ways you can be more conscious of the money you have in life.
The first obvious way is to save.
There are many apps that can help you track how much you’re spending in a month.
Secondly, you can look for ways you can earn extra income.
There are gig sites like Upwork where you can find small jobs you can do.
Consider looking into other opportunities like Uber or Airbnb.
Lastly, it’s good to consider investing.
While you may not know a lot about it, try learning something new every day.
Over time, you can build up enough knowledge to make some wise investment decisions. Consider looking into consulting with an investment advisor as well.
7. Personal development
The better you get as a person, the better your life can get. That’s why you
should think about making personal development an essential part of your life.
There are a number of motivational speakers you can watch on TV and self-help books you can read. One of my favorites I would recommend is How to Fail at Everything and Still Win Big.
It’s got loads of good practical life skills to improve in yourself. Some other things you might want to do is attend business workshops or take gym classes.
Think of what your weaknesses are and look for resources you can use to improve on them. Being someone with a variety of talents can increase your odds of success in life.
Look at it as a fun challenge to see how much you can build yourself up as a person.
8. Your Community
Community is a big thing for some people. We all have to live together, so it should be important for all of us to do our part to care about one another.
Find time to volunteer with organizations that feed the hungry or tutor at-risk children. Look for local nonprofits and charities that you can donate your time and money to.
In addition to your local community, the global community can be something you focus more on too.
You can donate to causes around the world or do your part to limit the effects of global warming by living more sustainably.
Its people help other people which keeps us from being crushed by the burdens of the world.
9. Safety
Particularly with finding a place to live, most of us make it important
to live somewhere safe. Unfortunately, not all of us get to have this luxury.
If you’re planning to move somewhere new, realtor.com can highlight
where some of the heaviest crime areas are in a city.
10. Happiness
As important as happiness is, it can seem sometimes
we don’t do enough to make it essential in our lives.
We spend a lot of time worrying about how our choices may affect someone else.
There’s of course nothing wrong with being selfless towards others.
But you should also be considerate of yourself too.
If you’re happy, you can be better able to make others happy.
Think about what makes you feel really good in life.
These are things you should try to have more of for your overall happiness.
Try to also eliminate things that don’t bring you as much happiness as well.
I’ve written a few steps you can read on how you can become a minimalist.
11. Faith
Growing up in the south, faith was the biggest priority in most people’s lives I knew.
Going to church on most Sundays and having Bible studies at home.
If you want to make a faith an important part of your life, get connected with a local church community. Participate in church activities, read a religious text, and pray often.
I wrote an article on Christian minimalism that you might find useful.
All of these are great examples of what people make necessities in their lives.
There are probably many more that people consider important.
Once you decide what’s of importance to you, make more time for those things.
Doing so will help make you happier than you’ve ever been.

Favorite priorities in life – Bing video
Do you try to complete all your tasks each day because you feel every item on your to-do list is highly important? Are you limited by time to achieve all of those tasks?
It takes having a clear list of priorities to effectively manage your time and know what counts while advancing in the direction of your goals. You might eventually stress yourself out if you continually take on too many tasks.
If you’re unsure whether you’re overwhelming yourself with too many responsibilities in life, take our Life Assessment for free and find out. This assessment will help analyze your different aspects of life and then give you an overview of your life’s satisfaction level.
Take the free assessment here.
Remember, your goal is a target you want to meet in the future. Priorities are those things you need to establish and focus on to meet that target. Once you have a list of priorities, you’ll stand a better chance of implementing changes and decisions that align with your life mission.
Everyone is different, and everyone will care about different things. However, some common threads connect us all. You may not find that every item on this list of priorities resonates with you, but it’s likely that at least a few of them will. If you’re not clear on your priorities, these may help you identify where you should put your thoughts and energy.
1. Your Life Mission
Your life missions are priorities that give you meaning and happiness. These are what make you live beyond being successful, but also work on something significant in life. What do you want from life? When you prioritize those things without compromising
your commitment to them, you will always end up achieving your goals.
Define your mission statement and identify things you need to do to accomplish your purpose in life.
Once you have established what your life missions are, organize your tasks, and make every item on your to-do list express those missions. If an item does not align with your purpose in life, refuse to work on it. If you want to lose weight, go ahead. If your life mission requires oratory skills, commit yourself to practicing that. The bottom line
is that your to-do list should be an expression of your personal and professional goals?
2. Physical Health
Your health is highly crucial and should be first on your list of priorities.
It determines your prosperity, comfort, and overall attitude.[1]
Bad health robs you of happiness and reduces your overall productivity.
This is why you need to break the cycle of poor health.
Here’s why your physical well-being should be on your list of priorities:
You can only be more productive and focused when you are healthy.
Your quality of sleep will improve.
You will be in a better mood when interacting with other people.
You will be more energetic to accomplish your life mission.
You will have good self-esteem. Sickness robs you of confidence.
Do these to improve your health:
Eat a balanced diet, develop a solid exercise routine, and don’t skip sleep.
3. Quality Time with Family
When you are having a bad time at work, the first pillar of support is always your family. Time spent with family enhances your self-esteem, promotes positive habits, and builds memories.
Prioritize spending time with your immediate family and make that time count.
Exercise or work out together, go for a walk after dinner, select a book to read
together, cook, or have a meal together. Prioritize togetherness!
You can be successful at work and still enjoy quality time with your family.
It’s important to recover the sense of a unified self in dismantling your work-life binary.
Therefore, avoid sacrificing your family while you pursue success in your business or work.
4. Healthy Relationships
Relationships are important in finding meaning and purpose in life. After your family, your friends, colleagues, or members of your community play significant roles in your
life beyond what you can imagine. According to Northwestern Medicine [2], prioritizing healthy relationships can reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol responsible for stress. A study discovered that married people are not as likely to experience psychological stress. This is because the emotional and social support that relationships offer can be an excellent cure for stress [3].
Furthermore, healthy relationships help you build healthy habits. Accountability partners, mentors, life coaches, and teachers play crucial roles in achieving your goals.
Therefore, surround yourself with people that will inspire you daily and isolate yourself from toxic relationships.
5. Mental Health
Are you always busying with work, social commitments, studies, family, and daily activities? If yes, then you need to prioritize your mental health. Establish a routine
to investigate how you feel when you are busy or overworking.
Try doing the following to keep yourself in check.
Perform a Mental Audit
Take note of what you feel, think, or say and how they impact your mood,
either positively or negatively.
Identify Red Flags
Red flags are warning signals that indicate when you are experiencing a shift in your thoughts, feelings, and habits. They could also warn you when you are experiencing burnout or stress. The earlier you know what’s wrong with you and develop coping strategies to resolve the issues, the faster and easier it will be to get back on track.
Figure out Your Trigger
If you notice some tasks, events, habits, or experiences impact your mental well-being, such as health issues, increased workloads, or relationship challenges, practice self-care during those periods. Self-care is not selfish. It helps you to regain your balance so you
can take on more tasks.
6. Finances
Money is not insignificant. While it may not buy happiness, you need to earn at least above what you need to stay happy. Life can be miserable when you’re struggling to pay the bills or feed yourself, so prioritize your finances!
Robert Kiyosaki, in his book Cashflow Quadrant, recommends:
“Make money work for you rather than working all your life for money.” [4]
Robert is simply advising you to work on your savings and investment goals.
So how do you prioritize and improve your finances?
Figure out your income-generating assets and income-depleting liabilities.
Then, increase your assets and reduce your liabilities. Also, save as much as possible to make your life more comfortable in the future. You can also invest your savings in any
low-risk project that can earn you passive income in both the short-term and long-term.
Lastly, avoid debt as much as you can and save for emergencies.
7. Self-Improvement
In the words of Lou Holtz, “You are either growing or dying” [5].
You can only become the person of your dreams by shunning mediocrity and complacency.
There are simple ways to improve yourself. You can watch TED Talks that can impact your life positively, read personal development books, or learn new skills. It’s not even a bad idea to learn something outside your field. Learning sustains living!
Follow these steps to create a self-improvement plan that works for you.
1. Define Your Goals
Define your goals (general list) and become more specific by breaking up your
general list into specific items: lose 20 pounds, earn a certificate, train for a new role, etc.
You can read more on how to set SMART GOALS.
2. Focus on Your Strengths
Highlight your strengths and what you lack to accomplish the specific goals.
Then define why you want to see them become reality. How will they benefit you?
3. Visualize
Visualize yourself achieving your goals. You can design a vision board to enable you to
see what success will look like. It may include pictures of a healthier and happier you!
4. Lay Out Your Plan
Establish your game plan. How will you get there? What will it require? Learning a new skill? Subscribing to an online course? You need to define those actionable steps you need to take to improve.
Don’t forget to set small milestones as you proceed so you can reward yourself when you achieve little successes.
Conclusion
If by now you are not sure of what your top priorities are, you might need to sit down and list everything important to you. For instance, if you are burnt out and it’s taking a toll on your health, then you will need to prioritize your health. There’s no way you can focus and be productive if you are not healthy.
The next step is to establish a game plan. For instance, you can highlight what you can do to avoid burnout. It could be mindfulness, talking to a psychologist, or taking a break from work. Then, block out time to implement your game plan.
Finally, take a self-assessment test to know if you are on track. If you need help with evaluating your progress, you can talk to your accountability partner, spouse, colleague,
or mentor. I will round off with the words of Brandon Sanderson, a successful American fiction writer and the brain behind Cosmere Universe:[6]
