Where is the line between deprioritizing something and feeling lazy for not getting it done?

<p>I too often hear horror stories of bosses who want everything to be a priority. Do it all and do it all now.</p> <p> </p> <p>That just isn’t a reality.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you are going to create priorities you have to be able to say that somethings just aren’t as important as others.</p> <p> </p> <p>There have been times in my life when I felt guilty or was shamed for the things I didn’t get done. Sometimes they were things I really felt like I should do.</p> <p> </p> <p>I shared one during this conversation. I met someone who gave me several tips of things I should do to make my LinkedIn profile better. I wanted to do them. But after moving them from list to list, I realized it wasn’t a priority.</p> <p> </p> <p>I still have the list saved on my desktop so I can find it easily if (when?) it become important enough to get bumped to the top of the list.</p> <p> </p> <p>I felt (still feel) guilty about it. I’m sure they could be useful things.</p> <p> </p> <p>But, I have let it go to do other things like schedule and facilitate Quick Hits conversations, talk to clients and have Powerful Conversations with potential clients.</p> <p> </p> <p>I wondered how other people deprioritized and then managed the guilt around it. Fortunately, Bill Dolan, James Lee and Atif Agha were willing to share a look behind the curtain on how it works for them.</p> <p> </p> <p>How do you choose what to deprioritize and then do you feel guilty about it? We would love to hear your strategies.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists:</p> <p>Bill Dolan: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/billdolan/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/billdolan/</a></p> <p>James Lee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jleeadvisor/</p> <p>Atif Agha: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/atifagha/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/atifagha/</a></p> <p>Dr Robyn Odegaard: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Want a summary of the Quick Hits I post every week, plus the links to the LinkedI
