Ways to Prioritize the task

There are two common ways of looking at prioritization:
1. In regards to what should be done first when you have a lot of tasks to complete.
2. In regards to time management, as you prioritize throughout the day to make sure you have time for everything.

• Selection of Task
Put down six most important tasks you need to accomplish the next day
• Rank the task
In order of importance
• First task priority
When you begin work the next morning, give your full attention to the #1 task. Work on that task until it’s completed before moving to task #2.
• Repeat for other tasks
Do the same for task #2 and so on down the list. If you’re interrupted with a true emergency, get back to your task as quickly as possible.

2. what you need to prepare for (important but not urgent), what you might be able to assign (not important but urgent),
3. what you might be able to delete (not important and not urgent). It's a perfect way to prioritize projects, make fast decisions, and keep focused.
