PRIORITY LEVEL

DESCRIPTION

Good things: #1 Priority (= Mandatory)

Must always be done.
 

Good things: #2 Priority (= Mandatory)

Must be done, but anything with a higher priority (Level #1) must be done first.

• If there is a conflict between Level #1 and Level #2, the higher level takes precedence.

Good things: #3 Priority (= Optional, but may vary according to circumstances)

Can be done (depending on circumstances) but anything with a higher priority (Levels #1 and #2) must be done first.

• If there is a conflict between this level and Level #1 or #2, the higher levels take precedence.

• 3A - Good things that have become mandatory because of a commitment to do them (a promise, covenant, agreement, etc.), or because of some connection to a higher value. (They may or may not be mandatory for other people, depending on their own specific circumstances.)
   
• 3B - Good things that remain optional, with no commitment to participate or to refrain. (They may or may not be optional for other people, depending on their own specific circumstances.)
  
  
• 3C - Good things that have become forbidden (and are no longer considered "good") in your specific circumstances, because of a commitment or promise to refrain from them, or because of some conflict with a higher value. (They may or may not be "forbidden" to other people, depending on their own specific circumstances.)

See: Explanation of the chart, for more details about Levels 3A and 3C.
