Yes, it is the Tyranny of the Urgent (Charles Hummel). It comes on us fast and we wonder where did the day, week, month, year, etc… go? It seems to me that this is a matter of a personal understanding of purpose, priorities, and values. This leads to the condition of our hearts as you stated. It is good to be still before The Lord forces me to be. Been there, done that - and yet the struggle remains.
Ironically, my initial thought when opening this was 'I don't have time to read this'. It was a blessing when I did.
Glad you took the time and that it meant something to you

Thanks Mike for the great reminder!
Psalm 46:10
[10] “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
The Tyranny of the Urgent is a favorite phrase and a warning I often return to.... PS 46:10!
Take one day at a time and try to stay focused
I enjoyed Pastor Mike’s. Post and will look forward to future post.
This was good. I know we are in such a rush these days but need to find time to have prayer time with the lord.
Thank you for the reminder to slow down and draw near to God. The only real salve in a crazy world.
Words so timely and true.
You know as much about balancing demands on your time as anyone! It’s a challenge for all of us
Spot on Mike. Our most valuable asset is time.
