The Thinking Lab - The Prioritization Challenge - Class for Members
October 3, 2018 –
Topic: The Prioritization Challenge
Do you make a list of tasks each day in priority order, and then plow through them, in order? Many successful people say that this is the foundation of their productivity.
I've found it's a lot easier said than done. Like every other productivity tactic, I have tested out many variations, and have reached some conclusions about what works and what doesn't. In the class, we'll discuss
- How to simplify prioritizing by distinguishing three fundamentally different kinds of tasks
- The standard for ranking your priorities to maximize productivity and minimize conflict
- Why common rules of thumb such as "Eat that Frog" are helpful--sometimes, and sometimes not
- How to use determination rather than duty to follow through on your priorities
I'm hoping we'll have time for an individual exercise.
