Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and yesterday I mentioned my 5 North Star priorities.  The things that are top of mind as I go through my day, but also as I think about my free time.  This is going to be different for everyone, but my hope in giving you a glimpse into my life will inspire you to look inward and think about your own life.   What I’ve found is that living a fulfilling life is so multifaceted and this is just one way I keep myself in check. 

 

So my top 5 priorities are: 

1. Sleep 
2. My husband 
3. My kids 
4. Connection & Relationships 
5. My Businesses 

 

This shows up in usually going to bed early.  My kids tease me.  I’ll admit, it’s harder in the summertime.  

 

Next, I’ve decided, I’ve literally put a steak in the ground that my marriage always takes priority.  Unless I’m not getting enough sleep, because we all know, I need sleep.  So that looks like 15-minutes to sit and have coffee when my husband is working from home (I tell him it’s a shorter commute) or it’s a long walk or an evening out. It could be a quarterly weekend away.  

 

Next my kids.  And this shows up to be available for their interests. 

 

Connection is pretty self explanatory, when we have human connection with people that lift us up, we’re happier.  This can be in person, on the phone, even a video chat.  I make sure that I have a connection built into every day in my calendar.   

 

And finally on this list of 5 is my business.  This doesn’t mean that the business is last, it just means that when everything else is aligned, the business will thrive.  

 

I’m curious, what would be your North Star? How would you accomplish it? DM me on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie and let me know.  Share your north star priority on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram.
