Figure out what is important right now

When the tempo is high at work, we all need to prioritize among all the tasks on our list.

One popular way to address the issue of what to prioritize is to determine if a task is urgent or not, then if it is important or not, and then put it in the right place in some kind of model (many people use a four-field matrix) or system.

Generally, the tasks that contribute to the goals you are responsible for are the important tasks.

But, what if you don't have any goals? Or if your goals are unclear? Are you then stuck with prioritizing only by urgency?

In this episode, the 511th, I share how to figure out what is important if you lack goals.

How have you figured out what is most important in your job? Please share it with me. I collect useful tips, tricks, and methods to simplify both my own and other peoples' lives. You will reach me, as always, by emailing david@stiernholm.com.
