Summary

The more thought you invest in planning and setting priorities BEFORE you begin to work, the better you get at getting more done faster, The more important and valuable as task is to you, the more you should be motivated to get it done and overcome procrastination My mentor Brian Tracy suggests the ABCDE method to prioritize, he says: it is the most powerful priority setting tool that you can use every day. This technique is so simple and effective, that if applied consistently, can make you one of the most efficient and effective person in your field. Here is how it works: write down everything you have to do for the coming days. Next, you place an A, B, C, D, or E next to every item before you start with the first task. Items with an A are defined as something very important, something that absolutely has to get done, not negotiable.  Doing this task will have very serious positive consequences if you do it OR very serious negative ones if not done. B items are tasks that you SHOULD do, but have only mild consequences, these as your tadpoles, If not done, someone may be inconvenienced or unhappy if you don’t do the task, but it is definitely NOT as important as an A task, The Rule: never do a B task as long as there’s an A task left to be done C tasks are items that would be nice to do but there aren’t really any consequences to speak of. These activities really don’t have an affect on your business D tasks are items that are meant to be delegated, things that could AND should be done by somebody else. The rule: delegate anything and everything that someone else can do, this allows you to free up time to take care of A tasks that can only be done by you E items are tasks to be eliminated, delete them from your to do list Once you start applying this method of prioritizing you will be organized and ready to get more IMPORTANT things done faster. The Key to making the ABCDE method work for you is to discipline yourself to start immediately, not tomorrow, NOW. #ChristophNauer #Balance6 #smallbusiness #entrepreneurs #timemanagement #businesscoaching #business #professionals #relationship #money #health #selfcare#productivity #coaching #consulting #mentoring #teambuilding #leadership https://balance6.biz/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christoph-nauer/support

Episode Description

The more thought you invest in planning and setting priorities BEFORE you begin to work, the better you get at getting more done faster,

The more important and valuable as task is to you, the more you should be motivated to get it done and overcome procrastination

My mentor Brian Tracy suggests the ABCDE method to prioritize, he says: it is the most powerful priority setting tool that you can use every day. This technique is so simple and effective, that if applied consistently, can make you one of the most efficient and effective person in your field.

Here is how it works: write down everything you have to do for the coming days.

Next, you place an A, B, C, D, or E next to every item before you start with the first task.

Items with an A are defined as something very important, something that absolutely has to get done, not negotiable.  Doing this task will have very serious positive consequences if you do it OR very serious negative ones if not done.

B items are tasks that you SHOULD do, but have only mild consequences, these as your tadpoles, If not done, someone may be inconvenienced or unhappy if you don’t do the task, but it is definitely NOT as important as an A task,

The Rule: never do a B task as long as there’s an A task left to be done

C tasks are items that would be nice to do but there aren’t really any consequences to speak of. These activities really don’t have an affect on your business

D tasks are items that are meant to be delegated, things that could AND should be done by somebody else. The rule: delegate anything and everything that someone else can do, this allows you to free up time to take care of A tasks that can only be done by you

E items are tasks to be eliminated, delete them from your to do list

Once you start applying this method of prioritizing you will be organized and ready to get more IMPORTANT things done faster.

The Key to making the ABCDE method work for you is to discipline yourself to start immediately, not tomorrow, NOW.
