Time Management : Set Priorities to Get the Right Things Done

PRIORITIZE YOUR TIME

Deadline Priorities.Are the choices you’re
making about your time infl uenced by dead-
lines? Are these deadlines externally imposed,

self-imposed, or a combination of the two?
Do the items on your list refl ect someone
else’s agenda or your own? If deadlines change
constantly as a result of someone else’s poor
planning or project volatility, renegotiate time
frames so that nobody accuses you of con-
stantly fi nishing late. In general, remember that
whenever your job depends on contributions

“There’s nothing...

NOTHING!... easier

than writing a 50-item

‘to-do’ list. In which

EACH ONE OF THE 50

ITEMS is truly of the

Utmost Importance.”
