"If everything is a priority, then nothing is"
The term "priority" originated from the Latin word "prior", meaning "precedence in right or rank". It meant the most important thing... not things.
In fact, the plural form didn't emerge until the 1940s.

Life is a series of trade offs.
Your ability to succeed is dependent on your ability to *prioritize* that which really matters, instead of diluting your attention across all of the things that *might* matter.
To truly rank that which comes before all else.
