This is the habit of discipline. I love this saying, “The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing!” People and relationships are the first thing. These are the things that matter first. This “first thing” list is different for everyone. Step back and look at what you are doing now. Are you putting the “first things first”? I know I can do better in this arena.
What will you commit to invest your time in? Your marriage? Your children? Your job? Your personal goals? What needs your attention? What will you commit to give your attention to? How can you affirm those people and relationships that are important to you?
All of these questions lead me to the next logical step which is to plan and set goals. What will be my specific action steps to achieve my vision and really show my family that I hold them first in my life?

I definitley think the key here is to make sure that our lives reflect our priorities. It is really easy to say that our family is our first priority but then have our schedule reflect something different. During the day I have to ask myself: Is my clean house more important than my kids? Is my blog more important than playtime? While it is important to do things like clean the house, or take a blog-break :), it is also important to schedule your time so that the MOST important things come first, and for me that is all about cultivating a loving relationship with my kids.
