WHAT IS PRIORITY MANAGEMENT?
Priority management is a skill used by high performing people where they have the ability to quickly discern what tasks and activities are important and focus their time and energy on those. Priority management is a large component of time management, and in order to be a good priority manager you must have a deep understanding of your overall goals so you can direct your energy toward tasks which get you closer to reaching those goals.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIORITY & TIME MANAGEMENT?
Priority management is a part of time management. When you understand which tasks are the most important, you are able to focus your attention on them and therefore you more effectively manage your time. By delegating or saying no to tasks which don’t take priority, you have more time to focus on the ones which do impact the bottom line, so a good priority manager has a great chance to be a good time manager as well.
WHAT ARE SOME EFFECTIVE PRIORITY MANAGEMENT TIPS?
- Know your goals - Without proper knowledge of where you want to be personally and professionally, you can’t identify which tasks are most impactful.
- Make a to-do list - By visualizing what tasks you have in front of you, it’s easy to give a value to each one and determine which you should focus on.
- Don’t multitask - When you decide which task to focus on, give it your full attention and the effort it needs to be done correctly.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIORITY MANAGEMENT?
Priority management keeps your company moving forward and can prevent burnout, stagnation and misallocation of resources. Without effective priority management, you won’t be able to see the big picture and work on your business, you’re likely to be stuck doing tasks which just keep the status quo.
