I appreciate you sharing this – I’ve been toying with a few of prioritization strategies I’ve found & yours is – to me – the most logical and easy to incorporate into my life. And it teaches to focus on what’s important in life – I love it! You have taken a few different ideas and molded them into your own, seemingly based on trial, error … and a bunch of common sense. BTW – I was interested to learn that Covey actually came up with his theories by building on those of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s: “Most things which are urgent are not important, and most things which are important are not urgent.”

Deciding on what really is important is the key to increased productivity. A good idea is to focus on realtively important issues and delegate the trivial functions by way of outsourcing, rather than multitasking.

Jonathon, Excellent article! I like how you made it so simple and straightforward – things we can implement right now! The value question is so important!

What I have found that helps me is to take 15-60 minutes each morning to look over my list of priorities and goals and make a to do list for the day. It really helps keep me focused. I’m reminded of my long term and intermediate goals. Those then turn into action steps that I can take TODAY to reach them. By looking at my priorities however, I’m reminded that family for instance is more important than anything I can do on the computer or work wise.

Hey Jonathan,

Great post! All these steps are very easy to do but are very easy not to do too!

I think everyone should implement these simple steps because they’ve helped me out a lot!

Thanks Jonathan!
