Prioritizing issues helps you organize your day.
With busy schedules and full lives, many people struggle with time management and prioritizing life issues in their daily schedules. Even the most well-intentioned individual feels overwhelmed at times, and the ensuing stress of feeling out of control can negatively impact your life. Through prioritizing issues in the order of importance, you can learn to manage your life effectively.
Instructions
1. Set goals. Write down everything. Think about what you want to do as you look toward the future. Whether it's a skill or talent, traveling, time with family, restoring relationships or something smaller, list what you need to do in the future. Schedule time for activities that work toward those goals.
2. Put your goals in order or in sections. Some people make a "bucket list" of things to do before they die. Others group goals into categories, such as family, career, recreational and self-improvement or spiritual. Others assign letters A, B and C, according to a code. Letter A represents important and urgent activities. Letter B signifies important activities. Letter C represents the least important activities. These priorities can change, so review them every six to 12 months.
3. Schedule your day. A typical schedule could include three items from your A list, two of your B goals and one of your C goals. For scheduling, you can use a daily planner or an online tool. Build time into your schedule to manage daily tasks like cooking and de-cluttering. Work around your body clock, according to your body needs. Attend to A priorities when you are at your best. Stick to your schedule to be effective in completing your goals.
4. Compensate for unforeseen events. Whether it's an emergency with your child at school or a friend who wants to meet for lunch, the unexpected will happen. Juggle your schedule so that you manage it, if needed, not so it rules you.
