What Should I Do Now? Prioritization: The Second Pillar of Productivity


Listen Later

Ever feel buried under a mountain of urgent tasks, unsure of what to tackle first—or how to avoid tasks that don’t really matter? You're not alone! In this episode, Moah and Alex dive into the art and science of prioritization.

Join them as they unpack powerful methods like the Eisenhower Matrix, flexible time blocking, and the Ivy Lee method. Hear why some strategies work great (and others don't) through real-life stories about snack-order debates, and Google’s API changes. You’ll learn how to decide what's truly important, what you can safely ignore, and how to adapt when your carefully planned day falls apart.

Leave with practical, easy-to-try tips, and finally start prioritizing the tasks that genuinely move the needle—without feeling overwhelmed.
