How to Prioritize

A quick printable guide, to putting your life in order, and thus get more from the joy of living.

Disorder….

·         Not sure what you have to do each day

·         Too many things to do, or at least a sense of that

·         Rushing around without results.

Order…

·         A list of what you have to do each day

·         Able to put tasks in a clear order.

·         An ability to say, “Whoa, slow down – STOP,” and take stock of events

Prioritizing purposefully promoting prompt peaceful pay-offs….

·         Write list of tasks needed each day.

·         Choose the most difficult, necessary and important task and write, “A” next to it

·         Write, “B,” and, “C,” and so forth next to each task – in order of importance – for achieving something.  Then tick them off as you go…

Napoleons’ Bone…

When asked how he conquered Europe,  in the early eighteen century, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of all Europe, said, “I write down ten things to do and I just do the single most important thing on that list.” He ignored the rest.

With a bit of practice, you find the useless tasks all dissolve, and you attain much more from living.

    Great tips but, I think Napoleon did the most important tasks and left the rest for his followers.
