The "Law of Posteriorities" By: Dr. Paul Callaway You can only gain control of your life both 'on' and 'off' the golf course and accomplish what you really want to the degree to which you stop doing things that are no longer as valuable or as important to you as other things you could be doing. Your Dance Card Is Full If you're like most people in today's world, you already have too much to do and too little time in which to do it. The average person today is working at about 110% of capacity, or more. Your dance card is full. You do not have any spare time. ChangeYour Priorities As your life changes, your priorities change as well. Certain things that were important at one stage of your life or career are no longer asimportant as you move to another stage of your life or to another level of responsibility. You must continually ask yourself, "What activities in my life can I cut back on, delegate, or discontinue to free up more time for my most important activities?" Decide What to Sacrafice To start anything new, you must stop doing something old. We say that "getting in means getting out." Most people view 'sacrafice' as something very negetive and even painful. But, in reality, the real definition of sacrafice is very positive and necessary 'if' we are serious about moving forward in life and getting better, more desirable results. Sacrafice: "Giving up something of lesser value for something of greater value". Analyze your time carefully and have the courage to stop doing things that areno longer as important to you as other things could be. Starting up means stopping off. Getting in requires getting out. You can not take on something new and accomplish something that you really want in the game of goplf or in the game of life without deliberately deciding to discontinue something else. What is it going to be? Action Exercises Here is an action exercise that you can apply this law to immediately: Analyze your current daily schedule and make a list of the items that consume most of your time. Which of these activities could you discontinue or delegate to free up more time for higher value activities that will more directly help accomplish your goal(s)?
