Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. We should always make Our Creator God the first priority of the day by being in prayer and praise with God, then lol else will be easier to prioritize. Have a blessed day today and always.

Sometime early in flight training some instructor told us that flying was inherently unnatural and that to be a successful aviator one had to be good at managing priorities. Every phase of fliying has many different constantly changing priorities that must be met to keep you in the air. That's pretty much true of being successful in just about everything in life.
