Video – Time Management and the 80-20 Rule
The average person has about 300 projects to take care of right now. The fact is, you will never get caught up – but you WILL start getting your life under control when you STOP doing things.
What should you stop? How do you determine this?
Take a look at your tasks to finish. Ask yourself, “If I could only do one of these things before I was called out of town for a month, what one thing would I be sure to do before I left?” Obviously, that becomes your number one priority for that day.
According to Brian Tracy, the key to time management is setting priorities. When you identify what your most important priority to finish RIGHT NOW, and disciplining yourself to finishing it, RIGHT NOW, you will achieve greater results in your life than working on many low priority tasks.
If you focus on clearing up little things first, you will find that the small things multiple and you will spend your entire day clearing up the little things.
Do the worst first, and stay with it until you are done. If you can make a habit of doing this, you will double your productivity each and every day.
