Prioritising your priorities

“Don’t let today’s URGENT take priority over yesterday’s IMPORTANT.”

How often do you completely lose track of actions—from the previous day? You either ran out of time, got distracted or completely forgot.

Well, this prompt is a variation on the urgent/important model.

It’s worth keeping at the front of mind each morning.

Keep it close. Write it down.

Educate others to complete their work—before moving on.

You may have to lower your expectations. But at least you shipped. And that has to be the priority.
