But how do you prioritise?

Certainly not ease, order on list, hé/she who is shouting loudest. To respond to these just causes further problems. No, prioritise vs. your Personal Compass, your personal set of priorities for Career, Relationships, Money and Well-being.

Re-set once a month and capture the actions on your daily Master List.

Do your working day.

Review your working day.

Switch from reactive to proactive.

Batch the distractions.

Start thinking not just worrying.

Just One Thing, 8 of 101

You’ve done 1? Got a Master List running?
You’ve done 4? Made sure everything on it is brain and time friendly?
Then now become the master scheduler. Review each what and decide when you will do it.

All great productivity is what and when. 
But NB1. You can do anything but you can’t do everything. 
But NB2. So how do you prioritise? Ahhh...your Personal Compass; coming soon.

Work hard. Keep the robot who wants your job guessing, out of breath and looking elsewhere.

Play hard. Indoors, outdoors, physically, mentally .

Keep the two separate.

In the meantime: Get a Life.
