How to Prioritize Tasks
- Make a list of all the tasks you need to complete. This could be a physical list, a digital list, or even just a mental one. The important thing is to have a clear understanding of everything you need to do.
- Identify which tasks are most important and/or urgent. These are the tasks that need to be done first, and they should be your top priority.
- Evaluate the remaining tasks and categorize them by level of importance. You can use a simple system like "high," "medium," and "low" to categorize tasks based on their priority.
