About priority samurai

Stephen Covey once said: “If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take gets us to the wrong place faster” 

Many people find it hard to identify their priorities. It’s even harder to translate these priorities into daily actions when we’re swamped by a sea of reactive tasks, a flurry of email notifications, and a barrage of meetings. 

Priority Samurai will help you identify and progress your priorities, each day, week, and year.

We will discuss practical strategies for managing your time and attention, enabling you to focus on what matters most across your work and personal life.
