2. Ruthlessly prioritize your time. I like to use the ABC Method to plan my day and prioritize tasks in order of importance.
An “A” task is my most important, must-do item for the day (or, if there’s more than one A task, I label them A1, A2, and so on).
“B” tasks are secondary tasks that are less important than A tasks – you never move onto a B task while there are still A tasks on the list.
And C tasks are those that are nice to get done, but it’s not a big deal if they don’t happen that day. I start every morning with this method, or you can plan ahead a night before.
