Sorting through your to-dos
Want to share feedback about the podcast? It would be much appreciated. 3 min survey here:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/N72QP67
Sorting involves categorising, grouping and ordering your tasks, which will help us to decide what task we should complete, when.
Examples of categories people often use to group tasks by are:
- Personal / Professional: You categorise based on the part of your life that your task relates to.
- Location: You separate tasks depending on where you like to do them.
- Projects: For when a task is part of a larger project or workstream.
- Timings: Based on how long will it take to complete the task.
- Energy demands: Understanding what your tasks demand in terms of energy and when you’re in a position to offer that.
- And priority level: How important and urgent the task is to you.
Your activity for today is to spend 5 minutes thinking about how you work, what kind of categorisation is most relevant to you, then start drawing up your template or editing your task manager in a way that cuts your tasks by your most relevant categories, so you can better figure out what should be done when.
