If you want to know how I deal with tasks and prioritisation, I’ll tell you it’s straightforward.

I follow the GTD (Getting Things Done) Methodology.

I use a Mac App called “Things 3“, which implements this perfectly.

A good YouTube demonstration can be found here!

The Kindle Book describing the method is available for £7.99

But essentially, it is a capture, prioritise and do methodology.

1. Capture –> Inbox

2. Clarify –> Weekly Review

3. Organise –> Planning System

4. Reflect –> Weekly Review

5. Engage –> Follow Though

Stuff –> Is it actionable?

• If so, and you can do it in 2 minutes or less, then do it now, and it’s done.
• If it takes longer, you need to decide whether to delegate or delay
• If the stuff is information, decide whether you need to keep it or you can discard it.

Any delayed or delegated stuff will need to be prioritised before you delegate or do!!

It’s a simple methodology, but you can scale it to teams and departments.
