Prioritization: Focus on what matters; don’t get distracted.

Do:

• • Identify your most important tasks (MITs).
  • Tackle your MITs first thing in the morning.
  • Learn to say “no” to non-essential tasks.
  • Delegate or outsource whenever possible.
  • Minimize distractions (email, social media, etc.).

Don’t:

• • Try to do everything at once.
  • Fall into the trap of “busywork.”
  • Let urgent tasks overshadow important ones.
  • Multitask – it often leads to decreased productivity.

Takeaway: Prioritization is about making choices. Focus your energy on activities that directly contribute to your goals, and let go of the rest.
