About Urgency, Responsibility And Priorities

Your urgency is your responsibility. Not someone else's.

Equally, someone else's urgency is not your responsibility.

Urgent matters pull you away from your focus, they become your priority, so by taking someone else's urgency you are taking away your own focus and replacing your priorities with someone else's.

Now, something smart is to align your priorities, I mean your urgency, with others. This could be your partner, your colleagues, your friends. But this alignment should be done consciously, not by taking away your focus and priorities.

However, there are times where you cannot simply align priorities or they are simply incompatible. Then it's time to make a choice.

Would you live according to your own urgency or someone else's?
