Priorities can be divided up into: URGENT - must be done now. IMPORTANT - must be done soon. UNIMPORTANT - must be done eventually. There is, of course, a lot of overlap so you might also list the things you have to do only in order of importance - the top one or two becoming urgent. Keep a diary and a pencil handy to record things as they crop up. You could also use a card index, or even a computerised database, whatever you feel you can work with. If you find that more than two items are urgent, then you are the victim of bad planning - do it better next time!! MOST OF ALL BE FLEXIBLE - LEARN TO FIT THINGS IN and BE EQUIPPED - DIARY, TIMETABLES,
Another way of setting priorities is to use the 4D system: DUMP anything that does not need to be done at all... DELAY what you can't dump... DESIGNATE a time for what you can't delay... and then.....
