- 5. Strategies
- 7. MASTER LIST BREAKDOWN • Break it down by monthly, weekly and daily goals • Pareto is the way. Try not to get too “task oriented”
- 9. EISENHOWER MATRIX • Developed by US president Dwight Eisenhower • Works well with limited experience • Helps you separate urgent tasks from important ones
- 10. • Urgent and Important: • Important, but not urgent: • Urgent, but not important: • Neither urgent nor important: EISENHOWER MATRIX • Urgent and Important: Do these tasks as soon as possible • Important, but not urgent: Decide when you’ll do these and schedule it • Urgent, but not important: Delegate these tasks to someone else • Neither urgent nor important: Drop these from your schedule as soon as possible
- 11. THE IVY LEE METHOD
- 12. THE IVY LEE METHOD Limiting yourself to six tasks (or less) each day creates a constraint that forces you to prioritize and then stay focused by single-tasking your way through your list.
- 13. THE IVY LEE METHOD • At the end of each work day, write down up to six most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow. • Prioritize those six items in order of their importance. • Next day, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the next one. • Approach rest of the items in your list in the same fashion. • At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day. • Repeat this process every working day.
- 14. THE ABCDE METHOD
- 15. THE ABCDE METHOD • Created by Brian Tracy • Helps differentiate between tasks that feel on the same level of importance • Instead of keeping all tasks on a single level of priority, this method offers two or more levels for each task.
