Finding the Balance in Prioritizing Tasks

The key to finding the balance in prioritizing tasks lies in focusing on the important and not urgent tasks, as well as on delegating or eliminating the urgent but not important tasks.

It is essential to create a forcing mechanism to schedule important tasks.

Involvement in only a few key tasks is viable, while the rest should be entrusted to competent individuals.
