PPI #126: Prioritize Like a Genius

Unless you prioritize well, you'll remain overwhelmed, frustrated, or just disappointed with your results. Here’s exactly how you can prioritize like a genius so you can get a lot more done.

KEY POINTS

Focus On The Outputs That Matter Most - Ask yourself “Out of all the things that I'm doing right now, what really matters the most?” You can't do everything, but if you really focus on what matters most you can get the right things done.

Create a Master Task List - Have one place where you keep all your notes, and one place where you keep your to-do-list. If you have post-It notes everywhere you’re going to lose track.

Rank Your Tasks - Create a list of the six most important tasks you want to complete the next day. Any left over at the end of the day put them into the mix for the next day.

Focus On One Thing at a Time - Eliminate all of the distractions and just focus on that one thing until it's complete.

Schedule, Show up, Single task - Treat all work as if you are in a meeting. Schedule your work, Show up, don't get distracted and single task, put all of your attention onto that one piece of work like you would in a meeting.

Look For Leverage Points - Look for the tasks that, if done, might eliminate the need to do other things or create a positive ricochet effect on those things.
