"What Everybody Should Know...7 Ways to Help
Set a System to Prioritize Your Business Tasks"

When running a business, sometimes it seems like there
are so many things to do that we don't know where to
start. Setting priorities daily and monthly are
essential. But sometimes that's easier said than done.

Prioritizing tasks may seem like a daunting task all by
itself. Yes, it will take some thought, but when you
come up with a system and stick to it, you can use this
system to prioritize much more quickly and effectively.

Here are 7 Ways to Help In Setting Up a System to
Prioritize your Business Tasks:

#1: Written "To Do" List". Many people find that
prioritizing is much easier when they start each
day with a written "To Do" list. You can also use
a computer program if it works for you. The key
is to have a list in writing where you can analyze
and adjust it as needed.

#2: Review "To Do" List often to see if there are
any tasks that can be delegated to someone else.
If you don't have employees, outsourcing could be
an option if needed.

#3: Review your Large Tasks because most often,
these can often be handled more effectively when
broken up into smaller tasks. Once you've done that,
you may find that there are portions of the larger
tasks that can be outsourced. And if doing an entire
project in one sitting will monopolize your time for the
day, breaking it up into smaller tasks may allow you
to postpone the less urgent parts until another day.

#4: Determine which tasks need your personal attention.
Once you've determined this, it's time to prioritize them.
Tasks that already have deadlines are a good place to start.
In most cases, it pays to get them out of the way first.

#5: Review the deadlines of your tasks, If Any Tasks
don't have specific deadlines, think about how they
affect the big picture. If they're not terribly important,
these can be moved to the bottom of your list. You may
even be able to drop some of them altogether.

#6: Some tasks could be handled in a few different ways.
For these, it pays to consider which way is the most
efficient or least expensive. Some face-to-face
meetings could be replaced with phone calls, for
example, and an email might be an acceptable
substitute for a long-distance fax.

#7: If your list is too long to handle in one day, look it
over one more time to see if there is anything you
can delegate or outsource. If not, you may have to
postpone some of the less important items. That's
the beauty of prioritizing. It helps you get the most
important things done first, and anything that's left
over can usually wait anyway.

Remember. when it comes to Time Management,
prioritizing our tasks should be a top priority. Making
a list of the things we need to do in the order that
they need to be done can help us use our time
much more wisely. And that will lead to greater
productivity, more time with family, and reduce stress.
