66 - what is a priorities list and how to create yours

Published on: 26th November, 2021

Let's spend some time moving you closer to your personal and professional goals. Making forward progress rather than being overwhelmed by the tasks we're supposed to complete and frustrated as there's not enough time in our day to do them all.

Through just three straightforward steps, you can streamline and simplify the process of creating your priorities list. First, write EVERYTHING down - all the tasks you have swirling around in your head, either on paper or an app. Next, determine if each task is urgent, important or both urgent & important. Third and lastly, rank the tasks within each of the four urgent/important status squares.


The urgent and important tasks should be very few, although they're essential to focus on now. Those tasks which are important but not urgent can be scheduled. Things that are urgent but not important can be delegated as we don't have to be the person completing them. Tasks being neither urgent nor important can be postponed.


I had a number of men ask for this information to be put together in a document. This should make it easier to perform your brain dump, categorize each task and then rank those tasks. The Priorities List Handbook is available to you at this link.
