How to decide what to do:
- Context: What is required to do what you want to do. If you don’t have that priority is irrelevant
- Time Available: If you don’t have time then it doesn’t matter either
- Resources: Do you have the energy to do it?
- Priority: Once all of those things have been met then Priority matters.
When prioritizing ask yourself two questions: Whats the value in getting this done? What bad will happen if I don’t?
If you aren’t crystal clear on your priorities, climb up the Horizons of Focus, especially to Areas of Focus to know what you are actually responsible for personally and professionally. Many times people will do that and realize they have things on their projects and next actions lists that are not really their job. If you are not sure what your areas are (most people have 5–7 personally and 5–7 professionally) then maybe it’s time for some updates on that with people you think can help you get clear on that.
