Have you ever had the feeling you were so occupied with work that you neglected your health, relationships with friends or family? Or perhaps you have the opposite problem: You so enjoying mixing and socializing you tend to forget about your routine chores and responsibilities. Have you ever gotten the impression you missed something important because you were busy with your everyday routine? Have you ever been in the situation where many of your activities required your complete attention simultaneously? Have you ever been confronted with equally important problems that make it impossible to follow a strict schedule? And, after having finished a day's work, have you ever been unsure as to whether or not you paid the amount of attention to each activity that each deserved? If so, then you need Activities and Priorities. Activities and Priorities (AAP) is different from the regular planners and organizers. It does not monitor the things, to which you can directly assign the priorities yourself. AAP balances equally and vitally important things like work, health, relationships, main life goals, all things that you should do regularly to have the success in life, be happy and healthy. You cannot directly assign the priorities to such activities. The highest priority has the most neglected activity. The priorities change with time and AAP shows them to you. In terms of the wellness, Activities and Priorities is the wellness monitor. In terms of the time management, Activities and Priorities monitors Quadrant 2 of the Time Management Matrix with the most important though not urgent things ("First Things" as Stephen Covey calls it). In a way Activities and Priorities is the compass that shows what is the most important now to keep our wellness up and our life balanced. Here we use the word "balance" in the sense of Stephen Covey, "as running from one area to another fast enough to spend time in each other on regular basis".
