During previous chats we’ve tackled prioritization, and maximizing use of your time management tool #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

If you’re struggling with priorities, here are a few pointers to help you… #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Things that have serious negative consequences if not completed=Priority A tasks #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Things not as important as an “A” task w/only minor negative consequences for not completing it=Priority B #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

C” tasks are nice to do not as important & have no negative consequences for not completing them. #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Other tasks fall under D=Delegate or E=eliminate. Practice & build your prioritizing muscle to support productivity #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Not many people add tasks to those last 2, but those 2 are key when it comes to productivity #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Delegate tasks that you don’t have to be the one to do to someone who can handle them. #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Don’t get caught up in the thought that "it takes time to teach them how to do that". Make the investment to teach them #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Doing so is making an investment in your time and frees you up to work on top priorities #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

When it comes to priority "E" tasks, add tasks to this category as often as possible. #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Get things off your plate that don’t belong there. If they aren’t related to your focus, they aren’t worthy of your time #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Tasks that are directly related to your goals are the things that should be on your agenda daily #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

When it comes to your time management tool, choose one that fits your personality. #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Learn all of the features of your time management tool and use all of them to support you daily #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

If something about the tool you’re using doesn’t support your productivity, you may not have the right tool. #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Final challenge: procrastination. What cost have you been paying for putting things off? #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

How much time has procrastination costs you in the past and what’s it costing you right now? Do the math. #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

If you do the math you’ll find that procrastination is costing you big time. You may find some solutions that seem to work #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Some solutions for procrastination don’t work because they don’t deal with the root cause of procrastination #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

When solutions don’t get to the root cause of procrastination, it resurfaces and you’re back to square 1 #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Procrastination is one of the biggest reasons people don’t reach their goals. What’s it keeping you from getting to? #productivitychatSheila Hawkins

Procrastination is a byproduct of something that ‘s going on within you #productivitychatSheila Hawkins
