Let's Talk ... Setting Priorities!

February, 2007

Helping you to build effective working environments. 

 

 
   
 

OPENING THOUGHT 

Although we are all unique, we all have one thing in common...we all have the same amount of time at our disposal...

60 seconds in a minute, 

60 minutes in an hour, 

24 hours in a day, 

and 168 hours in a week. 

Time cannot be saved or stored.

It is not how much we have, but rather the way we use it that makes the difference.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

So many things to do - so little time. You may be struggling to keep up with all of the demands that are placed on you - requests for your time. Any many of the requests are ones that you would really like to fulfill...but at some point you will find yourself needing to make choices - set priorities.

When you set priorities, you have to make some decisions about what's really important - and that means important to you. That's likely to be subjective and that's OK in this case. The other thing that you need to consider is urgency.

Take each of those items on your "to-do" list and for each ask yourself the following:

bullet

In the big scheme of things, how important is this? How does it align with my personal and professional goals? What would happen if I did not do this - would there be consequences?

bullet

What's the timeline? When does this need to be completed by?

 

Now grab some paper and start prioritizing - you may find yourself with more time to spend on the things that you feel are really worthwhile!
