The ROI Equation

ROI is a common calculation in sales, and is usually calculated by dividing the investment by the return.

The ROI for tasks that we are about to talk about is a number (1–4) assigned to each item on our to-do list or brain dump. It is the value we will get out of a task (our return) based on the amount of effort (our investment) we put into getting the task complete.
