I am sitting here after work hours writing this because I reminded myself that I did not need to give an excuse again. Why? Because this is important to me. This is what I have found out, if you love something so much, you will do everything it will take to keep it.
Yes, prioritization is key. At any given time we have a hundred competing goals and we can't do them all. If something's not getting done day after day, then it's not a priority for me at the time. I've learned not to judge myself but instead just be aware of it and if something is not being prioritized and I want it to be, I make sure that I set aside time for that thing in my schedule and push aside other things.
