You will work more efficiently if you learn how to prioritise your workload into four tiers.
Use the urgent important matrix to help you identify your tasks. The tasks will be given priorities based how urgent and important they are.
Top priority should be given to tasks that are both urgent and important. These need to be done immediately
The second priority should be given to tasks that are important but not as urgent. If you spend enough time on tasks in the second tier, you will reduce the number of urgent tasks. Plan to do these tasks the same day.
The third tier includes urgent but unimportant tasks that should be done today. If you ignore tasks in this tier, they may become both urgent and important.
The bottom tier includes tasks that are not urgent or important. Label them as tasks that cannot be forgotten. These tasks may carry over to the next day.
