As well as making teaching resources that save you time, we’ve got a few ideas about how to get the rest of your To Do List, Done. Here is Part 1 of our special series on How to Prioritise so you can finish your day with a smile!
Feel like everyone AND everything needs your attention all at once? We feel your pain. Never fear, help is at hand…
With this method, you will be allocating the letter A, B, C, D or E next to each task on your To Do list. But, wait. Before you start, think realistically and logically about how you allocate each letter. Although some things may feel like an A, they may, in reality, be a C. Here’s how it works:
A
|
There will be serious consequences if you do not prioritise these tasks. |
Examples:
|
|---|
B
|
Not as important as A, and only minor negative consequences if these are left. |
Examples:
|
|---|
C
|
Still important, but not as important as A or B and there will be no negative consequences for not completing this task. |
Examples:
|
|---|
D
|
These tasks can be assigned to someone else or even automated. |
Examples:
|
|---|
E
|
Find a way to get rid of each of these if you can to free up your time and feel less stressed – both mentally and physically. |
Examples:
|
|---|
You can apply this method to any ‘To Do List’ in your personal life and/or school life. By improving how you prioritise you can begin to enjoy a fulfilling and rewarding career and have a happier, more satisfying personal life. Regularly checking in with your list will help you stay on top of things without feeling overwhelmed.
