Priorities

I've always had them but didn't always treat them that way. I made my own personal list of things I considered priorities, and then compared it to my "life". Where/how did I spend my time, and money, and "energy". Next, I mentally I set both lists next to each other. I saw certain things like Family were a high on the priority but low on the other list. How can I label certain things as priorities while my actions prove they aren't?

So, in this new fall "semester" of life I want to treat my priorities as actual priorities. My professional development, living on a budget, family, friends, spiritual life and my own passions & interests. Oh yeah, maybe I should add blogging/writing to the list...
