How To Set Priorities
The rarest commodity in the world:
(don’t miss your chance to use it)
Time.
Something we’re forced to give away for:
↳ more work
↳ more stress
↳ more money
But here’s the harsh truth: only our loved ones will remember the nights we didn’t spend with them.
Here’s how I learned to take my time back:
The Pareto Principle:
The Effort Paradox
↳ 20% of tasks yield 80% of results
Focused Progress
↳ Maximize impact with minimal effort for faster growth
Eisenhower Matrix:
Urgent & Important
↳ Do immediately (crises, deadlines)
Important But Not Urgent
↳ Schedule for later (planning, development)
Urgent But Not Important
↳ Delegate if possible (interruptions, some meetings)
Neither Urgent Nor Important
↳ Eliminate (time wasters, trivial tasks)
The Focus Circles:
Values
↳ Core principles guiding your life
Goals
↳ Specific objectives to achieve
Daily Tasks
↳ Routine activities and immediate responsibilities
The Decision Funnel:
↳ All Tasks and Responsibilities
↳ Filter by Alignment with Goals
↳ Assess Urgency and Importance
↳ Evaluate Required Effort and Resources
↳ Top Priorities
