If you're a knowledge worker, you're probably undervaluing your time. If you waste a lot of time doing administrative things, creating your own systems and hacking Excel, Google Docs, and the like, you're probably not making the most of your time. There's also likely rudimentary tasks that you should be outsourcing to save you time, whether it be asking someone else to help you, hiring a virtual assistant, or using a 3rd party tool or service.

There is always more to be done as a manager. You may have a to-do list with a lot of items crossed off, but did you accomplish?the most important things today?

Especially when others depend on you, you have to learn to make tough choices on what to do, what to put off, and what to say no to. That's where priority management comes in.

??????? With the Pareto Principle, you can save time on work tasks and get more done in a shorter span of time.

?????? The Eisenhower matrix helps your priority management in two major ways – by highlighting what you need to direct your attention to first, and what needs to be crossed off your to-do list. This gives you a clearer sense of direction, shapes your schedule, and improves delegation.

??????? Focus on the $100/hr tasks and spend less time on the $10/hr tasks

???????? If every meeting can get on your calendar, then so should your most important thinking and strategizing time of being creative, reading a book or simply taking a walk

???????? Is it clear who owns a task/project? Shoot the question, "whose monkey is this?" Remember to always be clear who has the monkey - this makes time and priority management easier for everyone.

???????? You must think hard about how you can be a multiplier for them instead of just a linear, individual contributor.

?????? Anything that saves you time is worth an investment

???????? Getting things out of your mind and into a system you trust saves you mental load

Priority management helps you focus on the most important tasks and projects and not get bogged down by lower-value commitments. If done successfully, priority management helps you produce better quality of work, manage your schedule better and improve delegation.

Dear readers of One Step Forward, the key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Leadership isn't just about making decisions; it's about making the right decisions. It's about integrity, vision, and the courage to do what's best for the team and the greater good. True leaders inspire by example, showing that doing the right thing is not just a choice but a responsibility. ????
