You know you have a lot of tasks, projects, and assignments to complete with fast-approaching deadlines. Which ones should you focus on? How do you prioritize? How do you stay on task? Watch this short and very helpful video for practical tips and ideas.
What are the best ways to prioritize tasks and projects based on their importance and deadlines? Look at all planners and calendars you have all at once to SYNTHESIZE everything - put it all in one place to know what tasks, projects, and assignments you have. Divide into 3 columns. High priority tasks take 1st column, in order of importance.
Other options for prioritizing: Use a large wall whiteboard:

You can also use Microsoft Excel to make the list then put in priority order from top to bottom. Use the post-it option presented in the video! Here is the link on Amazon for post-it notes:

You can download this checklist to use for any project you have coming soon to stay organized:

We can make all the lists and do all the prioritizing we want. UNLESS we actually sit and DO what needs to be done (utilizing self-discipline and self-motivation), we won’t have proper follow-through on tasks. Make sure all distractions are set aside while you work on very demanding tasks and projects that require your attention (phone, notifications, noise, etc.)
