GTD - Step 1 - Prioritize
Michael | July 11, 2008
On Tuesday I talked a little (ok, maybe a lot) about GTD.
To reiterate… Step 1 is all about taking care of the important things first.
And doing it is easier than you may think. I made this little image, printed it out and hung it on my wall (There has to be a name for this, I know I didn’t invent it!):
(* update - sorry, it won’t let me embed it! so I linked to flickr)
(* update 2 - added the image!)
That’s it.
Now EVERYTHING (and I mean everything) gets a label of 1 to 4. Everything I need to do that is going to take me more than 15 minutes goes on an excel spreadsheet and receives a rating of 1 to 4; then:
Things that receive a # 1 Get Done First.
Generally things that receive a # 2 Get Done Next, followed by things that receive a # 3.
And of course things that receive a # 4 get thrown out right away (very little gets a number 4).
It’s easy, it’s helpful, and it makes a huge difference.
