When you find yourself lost, scattered and standing alone amidst an overwhelming pile of tasks before you, don’t fret. Your purpose is there to weed out all that isn’t yours to do.

Your purpose is the one tool you have that guides everything you do. It helps you determine what to do and what to leave behind. It is easy to forget that as you stare into the ever growing pile of demands you face as a leader at home, work, in your relationships and community. However, your purpose will align all you do to ensure you avoid the shiny distractions that tempt us all.

Take a look at all you have to do today. That you know of.

Step One
What tasks will help you fulfill your purpose?

Step Two
What tasks just get in the way?

Step Three
Engage in those tasks from Step One that help you fulfill your purpose. The rest, let go of or delegate to the right people. Who are the right people? Those whose purpose is fulfilled by completing those tasks.

Fulfilling your purpose aligns all you do.
