In a few weeks many of us will be thinking about resolutions, goals and priorities for the new year. (Michael Hyatt has some great resources on his blog for life planning if you are interested).

I was thinking about priorities recently and realized there are small things we can do on a daily basis to help reinforce what is important to us. Physical reminders can help take something out of the mind and make it a part of us. We are flesh and blood rather than merely brains floating around, you know.

A simple example for me is the “Homelink” garage door / gate opener buttons in my car. The first position is home. The other two are for gates at work. I remind myself each time I push one of the buttons that my family at home is more important than my work.

What buttons can you push to align your priorities?
