Choosing What Matters Notepad

When Everything Feels Urgent, What Actually Matters?

Your to-do list is endless. The demands are relentless. The expectations from others, from yourself, and from the world keep piling up. You're running from task to task, but at the end of the day, you wonder if you spent your time on what truly mattered.

You know you need to prioritize. But how do you choose when everything feels important?

The Choosing What Matters Notepad is your Christ-centered tool for filtering your priorities through prayer, surrendering the pressure, and focusing on what reflects faithfulness rather than just productivity.

A Framework Rooted in Scripture

"Seek first the kingdom of God..." – Matthew 6:33

Before you plan your day, you seek God's kingdom. Before you fill your schedule, you filter it through His priorities. The layout guides you through three essential areas of prayerful planning:

1. Reset My Heart

You can't choose what matters if your heart is driven by pressure instead of peace. This section helps you surrender before you plan. This creates space to identify what's driving your busyness so you can release it to God before making decisions.

2. What Truly Matters

Once your heart is surrendered, you can see clearly what God is calling you to prioritize today. Cut through the noise and identify the one or two things that truly matter, not the hundred things demanding your attention.

3. Filter My To-Do List

Now you can look at your tasks through the lens of faithfulness rather than urgency.
These are the tasks that align with God's priorities—the ones that build eternal value even when they don't feel productive.

How to Use This Notepad

For Daily Priority Planning:
Each morning, before you dive into your to-do list, fill out a page. Surrender the pressure, identify what truly matters, and filter your tasks through faithfulness. This practice transforms your planning from reactive to intentional.

For Combating Overwhelm:
When you feel buried under demands, use this notepad to sort what can wait from what reflects faithfulness. You'll be surprised how much can actually wait.

For Releasing Perfectionism:
The "Reset My Heart" section helps you identify when perfectionism, comparison, or fear is driving your schedule. Naming the pressure is the first step to releasing it.

For Protecting Relationships:
The prompt "The one relationship I need to prioritize" keeps you from sacrificing people on the altar of productivity.

For Spiritual Discipline:
Using this notepad is an act of worship. You're submitting your time, your tasks, and your priorities to God's lordship.

For Accountability:
Share your completed pages with a mentor, friend, or spouse. Vulnerability about what's driving your busyness invites wisdom and support.

For Sabbath Rest:
Use this tool to identify what can wait so you can truly rest without guilt.

Tuck It Anywhere:
Keep it on your desk for morning planning. Store it in your planner for weekly reviews. Slip it in your Bible for quiet time reflection. The portable size fits seamlessly into your planning routine.
