Prioritization
Yes! It’s time to move to Step 3 in the 3 TOP Steps for Productivity Process you have been learning.
- Time
- Organization
- Prioritization
The meaning of Prioritization is: the action or process of deciding the importance or urgency of a thing or things.
I’m sure you have lots of things on your list that feel like priorities. However, some need to be prioritized over others and some fall into time prioritizations as in you need to have had them done yesterday.
Hopefully though, through this process you have been learning, you’ll no longer have things hanging over your head.
As a result, by knowing the time you have to work and organizing your categories appropriately prioritization will be the next natural step for you to get things completed.
How to prioritize
Let’s take a step back. You have mastered your time (ok, it’s a work in progress), organized your actions accordingly and the next step is to work on the most important tasks that moves you to where you are going in your business.
Too often you are working on the urgent things, the things that had to get done yesterday.
You may have a little backlog here. If so, be sure to schedule time to complete those tasks.
Look at what you have currently and upcoming and assign some criteria for it. Such as:
- When do I have to have this completed?
- What will I need to have/do for this to be done?
- How long do I think (estimate) this will take to be accomplished?
- Is there something I may be missing in order to see this finished?
It’s more like a project than a one and done. The one and done action can be scheduled and completed easily.
In addition, after you have your steps that you need to take to complete your project you can then assign an order of importance. And from there you know what to do first, second and so on.
Consequently, you then schedule it into your time containers (more on that subject coming soon) to get it completed.
In conclusion, for now, look at what you have on your to do list(s) and assign your criteria so you can begin to prioritize them, schedule them and get them completed.
