Prioritize Your List - Turbo Charge Your "Tasks"

We have a Master List that has your KRAs (your #1's), and your 2's (twos) and 3's (threes) assigned to each.

You have that done, right?

Now we Turbo Charge your life by Turbo Charging your list of tasks.

How can we get even more productivity from this list? Well, here's how;

1. Next to each number one, we are going to place another number next to it. It will be a 1, 2, or 3.

2. If the task takes longer than an hour to do place a "1" to the right of the first "1" . Remember, we are working with the KRAs right now.

3. Next go through the list of KRAs, and place a "2" next to each "1" that takes less than an hour, but more than 15 minutes. Next place a "3" next to each remaining KRA that takes less than 15 minutes.

3. Your list of KRAs should look like this 1,1 or 1,2 or 1,3. You can place a hyphen instead of a comma if that works for you. Your list of KRAs would then look like this; 1-1, 1-2, or 1-3.

4. Now, what you are looking at is this. Your 1-1's are more than likely your most important and critical items you have to get done for your long term success with your firm. Check it out for yourself. If this is not true, go back over your 1-1's and see if they are not really a 1-2 or possibly a "2".

5. Now you should do the same exercise with your "2's" on the Master List. And then the "3's".

Your MASTER LIST should now have the Priority (1, 2 or 3) and the length of TIME that each one should take to complete (1 for over an hour; 2 for under an hour - but over 15 minutes, and 3 for under 15 minutes.).

This is critical.

From today forward, you are now writing your "to do" or task on the MASTER LIST.

A couple of critical points:
1. You are not "allowed" to do the task without writing it down first.

2. We assign a priority to each task after we write it down. Why do you think we do this? This is a critical question to answer. In the next post, we will address this.

3. We Turbo Charge the list with another number that represents the length of time it will take to get it done. Why do you think we do this?
