Do we have criteria to prioritize?

Nowadays we live in a society characterised by multitasking. Many people do a lot of activities per day. We are all the time busy, even some people are used to feel bad when they do nothing.

It is very common to have more than one activity at the same time. In these cases, we have to decide what to do. These decisions are not easy when we are committed to these activities, to someone or to a group. In this situation, it is important that we reflect about our final decision. As I said before, it is not easy because we should prioritize one activity, meeting or whatever, but just one. 


To prioritize we need to have some criteria. 

Do we have it? 
Do we decide depending on our interest in that moment? 
Before commit ourselves to one activity or project, do we really think about the meaning of commitment? 
When we have two different scheduled activities on the same day and we have to decide which to attend, do we consider our commitments? 

This is an important ability to develop. 
How can we develop it? 
Just by practicing in our lives thanks to the trial and error? 

Why is this ability not considered in our formal education?
