Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Riley Hart here, coming at you live with
another dose of career calm. Today we're diving deep into
something that can feel like navigating a minefield. Sometimes. Figuring
out your priorities in your career ever feel like you're
juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a ti trope. Yeah,
I get it. We high achievers tend to have ambitious goals,
(00:23):
big dreams, and a million things pulling at our attention.
But here's the thing. If we don't take a step
back and consciously prioritize what truly matters, we risk burning
ourselves out chasing after shiny objects that don't actually align
with our core values. Let's face it, when you're constantly
on the go striving for success, it's easy to get
(00:44):
swept up in the daily grind and lose sight of
what's truly important. You know that feeling when you're checking
off tasks like a boss, but deep down you feel
like something's missing. That's your inner compass screaming for some direction.
So how do we make sense of it all and
figure out what deserves our precious time and energy. Here
are five key takeaways to help you prioritize your values
(01:06):
and goals in your career. One. Define your non negotiables.
Think of these as the cornerstones of your professional life,
the values, principles, or experiences that absolutely must be present
for you to feel fulfilled and happy. Maybe it's creative freedom,
a sense of purpose, making a positive impact on others,
or even simply having a good work life balance. Once
(01:30):
you've nailed down your non negotiables, make them visible, write
them down, put them as your phone wall paper, share
them with your colleagues. Two. Get real about your goals.
Don't just dream big. Get specific. Instead of saying I
want to be successful, ask yourself what does success look
like for me? Is it a certain title, a financial target,
(01:53):
recognition from peers, or something entirely different. When your goals
are clear and tangible, you can create actionable steps to
achieve them. Three. Embrace the power of saying no. This
one's crucial. Learning to say noe to commitments that don't
align with your priorities as a superpower. It might feel
uncomfortable at first, but trust me, it frees up space
(02:16):
for the things that truly matter. Four. Prioritize your time
like a boss. We all have the same twenty four
hours in a day, so how we spend them is crucial.
Use tools like calendars, to do lists, or even time
tracking apps to identify where your time goes and make
conscious decisions about how to allocate it. Remember, saying yes
(02:38):
to something valuable often means saying no to something less important. Five.
Regularly reassess and adjust. Life is a constant flow, so
your priorities might evolve over time. Don't be afraid to
revisit your values and goals every few months, adjust your
course as needed, celebrate your wins, and keep moving forward
(02:59):
with purpose. Let me share a quick real world example.
Picture this. You're working at a company where you're constantly
being pulled in different directions. There are always new projects,
deadlines are looming, and your boss is expecting extra hours.
It's easy to get swept up in the chaos and
feel like you're drowning. But what if you took a
(03:20):
step back and really looked at your priorities. Maybe for you,
work life balance is a non negotiable. You might realize
that putting in extra hours isn't actually contributing to your
long term happiness or success. So instead of saying yes
to every request, you start politely declining tasks that don't
(03:40):
align with your goals, you might surprise yourself by finding
more time for activities you enjoy. Spending time with loved ones,
pursuing hobbies, getting enough sleep, You'll feel less stressed, more energized,
and ultimately more productive in the areas that truly matter
to you. Remember, taking control of your career doesn't mean
(04:00):
becoming a dictator. It means becoming a mindful architect. It's
about building a life that aligns with your values and goals,
one where you feel fulfilled, challenged, and genuinely happy. So
go out there, prioritize what matters most, and build the
career of your dreams. Don't forget to share this episode
