Distractions VS Priorities: Episode 3

Sep 16

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

— Matthew 6:33

Practice discernment daily: pause and evaluate what’s taking your time. Is it fruitful or just filling space?
Practice saying no to good things so you can say yes to the best things.
Build the habit of starting your day with prayer or Scripture to reset your focus before distractions set in.

Apply structure to your day: make a simple plan with non-negotiable priorities (faith, family, calling, health).
Apply the “filter test”: ask, Will this matter tomorrow? Next month? Eternally?
Replace distractions with priorities—when you catch yourself scrolling or wandering, redirect to a task that aligns with your goals.

Live with intention: guard your time like it’s precious, because it is.
Live by example: let others see that priorities—not distractions—shape your choices.
Live surrendered: trust God to highlight what truly matters, and let Him reorder your steps when you get off track.
