If we look at things that we HAVE to do in our daily lives, they normally fall under one of the following 2 categories:
Responsibilities: Things you're accountable for, have to make decisions on, and simply get done.
Commitments: Pledges, undertakings to people and/or organisations.
As Productive Muslims/Muslimas, we sometimes do tend to take on board too many responsibilities and/or commitments that we find it hard to balance. Here's a quick solution to help resolve such balancing dilemmas:
For each of your responsibilities or commitments, ask yourself the following 3 questions:
Can you delete it?
Can you delegate it?
Can you defer it?
ONLY responsibilities or commitments that have "NO" as the answer to ALL 3 questions above should you keep hold off and try to get done as soon as possible. Everything else is negotiable.
InshaAllah, this insight will help you a LOT in balancing the tens of things you get involved in and you'll know what to focus your energy on as a result.
