How to prioritise our action, when overwhelmed with task

in #teammalaysia6 years ago

Have you been in a situation where you are suddenly overwhelmed with things to do whether at home , work or business?

I am pretty sure the answer is resounding YES in capital! Below is a technique i follow to help me priorities task at hand and address them each one of them with focus.

The technique is known as Eisenhower Matrix, it was technique used by the ...interesting biography, if you are into biographies.
US President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his term as POTUS. 34th President of USA. He was considered the master of time management back in those days.

I have chart stick on the wall, instead of snapping the photo of it with some of my todo list, i thought i will draw them out, hope they are clear. i gave it my best handwriting possible....i know

Guide:

  1. List down all the task you have to do.
  2. Analyse the impact of each task of doing it now and later.
  3. Based on step 2, fill in the grey boxes above, and wallah!

You now know what to do and when to do it!

Happy prioritizing your tasks...

Good idea here, @namchau! It is always better to categorize the tasks at hand, and make decisions based on true need and urgency rather than let circumstances dictate action.

My English language skills improvement suggestion for you today is a double-header.

wallah!

Is a French word, correctly spelled voilà, meaning "that's it!"

And in proper English writing, when a foreign word is used it is italicized within the body of the English text.

Very interesting method....admittedly, for me the upper right corner box will be written "PANIC NOW!" lol

Ahah, in another perspective, the upper right box is where the focus should be first! Panic doesn't help.

Take deep breath and go for a walk :)
