Managing tasks is a daily challenge. How can you prioritise them effectively? Follow these four methods to prioritise your tasks and become more efficient.
4 ways to improve efficiency :
1 - The Eisenhower matrix
Categorise tasks according to their degree of urgency and importance.
- Important and urgent: to be prioritised
- Important but not urgent: to be planned
- Urgent but not important: delegate or manage quickly
- Neither important nor urgent: to be postponed
2 - The added value method
Rate (from 1 to 5, for example) each task according to two key factors: the potential impact on your objectives and the effort required to achieve them.
Typical efficiency logic: the tasks to prioritise are those that offer the best returns per unit of effort.
3 - The Pomodoro technique
Break up your day into "pomodoros": 25-minute intervals + a short 5-minute break.
After 4 consecutive pomodoros: pause for 15 to 30 minutes.
An interval work cycle enables you to maintain maximum concentration over short but repetitive periods.
4 - The MoSCoW method
Classify your task in one of the following categories:
Won't have : delegated or eliminated
Must have : priority
Should have : secondary
Could have : after the first two
