Saturday link: Setting priorities
(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Today’s link comes from Lifehack.org. I’m reading about setting priorities, and boy is it something I need to work on.
The article talks about different approaches to setting priorities, my favorite of which is probably “Eat a Frog.” The general idea is to eat a frog, or get the most unpleasant task done early, so the worst of your day is out of the way.
But I probably practice the Covey quadrants most of the time, though. Unfortunately I’ve worked with a lot of people who live in the 3rd quadrant – where everything’s an emergency. It makes it harder to work from the 1st and 2nd quadrants.
Are you having trouble setting priorities? What’s the biggest hurdle for you?
