Often our choices of how we spend our time can cause conflict with others who would make different choices. Our conflict may be with our spouse over how we are going to spend the weekend. It could be with our work over whether to work extra time on a project or go home early. It might be with our own schedule determining what we can and cannot do with our time.
We're halfway through March already! Are you doing what you said you'd be doing?
Now is the time to evaluate your time wasters. These are activities you do on a regular basis that you don’t particularly enjoy and that don’t produce any meaningful benefits. This could be anything from sitting in front of the television, to surfing the Internet, to creeping on your friends on Facebook, to tinkering in the garage. Once you’ve recognized the activities that take a good chunk of your time, you can take steps to change your behavior. You don’t necessarily have to eliminate them, but you do have to moderate them. Some things are not necessarily wrong, they’re just not necessary.

Every day we make choices based on priorities. That doesn't mean the other choice is wrong. It doesn't mean we won't have to eventually do all of the choices at some point. It means that in the act of making decisions, it isn't always about right and wrong, as much as it is about good and better.
