Assign an &#39;Impact&#39; and &#39;Urgency&#39; using the scale of High, Medium &amp; Low  scales where the less time u have for the task to complete the higher the priority.  Similarly the more the impact to u if u dont do a task, then higher the impact.  <\/p>\n<p>Once u have this list every other day set aside about 5 mins to prioritise and sequence &#x2F; rank the activities basis the impact and urgency.  Where required if u have additional info around only u could do it get them on top.  Where someone else could do, delegate and<br \/>\nensure its followed up for closure. <\/p>\n<p>Go by the order in which its prioritized and complete one at a time.  Key thing:  Don&#39;t worry that u have a big list at any time.   Say to your self that you are getting better at it and soon u will clear this off.

If I\u2019m rushing in the mornings (it happens), instead of taking the time when I first wake up I\u2019ll make my list during my commute or while waiting for the train, which always takes about as much time as me making my list. The lists I make are simple and don\u2019t contain my whole schedule or anything, which is what I used to do. Instead, I only write down the specific activities that I need to do that day with the most important at the top, like paying my phone bill or sitting down to write. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Esther G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Get as many tasks as you remember. Then you should prioritize the three most important. That\u2019s your \u2018must do\u2019 line. Every time you get to complete one of the top tasks, you can upgrade to the top the next most important task. You will be focused rather than having  dispersed tasks. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Addison G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I right out my to do list I put the month and date, then I write and obligations I need to go to and there times then I ideally stick to about 5-7 to dos and try to keep them relatively simple and short hope that helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louis N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put times on my list.  I read somewhere that tasks normally take 3 times longer than you think they will so triple the time until you find out the real time.  Upside &#8211; you get done early or a simple phone call doesn\u2019t derail your whole schedule.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ivonne Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I always put my most important jobs at the top of the list and everything else at the bottom.
