Commitments vs. Todos

Everyday it seems like there is an endless list of things to do. Whether that is chores around the house, errands to run, random favors for others, things you have been wanting to work on et cetera. Something that is important to keep in mind though is what you are commited to do so that it doesnt get lost in your list of todos. These should be your first priority things that you work on before anything else. There should be a different urgency to your commitments than your todos. Your commitments should be the things you definitely get done during the day. Your todos should be everything else.

A few questions to reflect on:

Are you treating your most important efforts as commitments or are they getting lost in your todos?
Have you defined what your commitments are?
If you have defined your commitments, how frequently are you completing them?
Do you have a system that works to remind you of your commitments?
