Don’t work until you prioritise: making a list of all the things you need to do

The most common mistake of knowledge professionals like us is to jump right away to work on something without taking the time to think whether it needs to be done and when.

You probably already have a list of tasks you need to do, but if you don't, now is the time to make that list.

Action: offload all the tasks in your head (10-30 mins)

Think about everything you need to do, in your work and personal life. Take a Google Doc or a piece of paper, Asana or Trello, and list everything that comes to mind as a task that needs to be done. E.g. Email Martha, give new employee access to database, proofread fundraising application, etc.

Once we've got this list, we'll work with it to prioritise it in the next lessons so that you can decide what to work on.

Once you've done it, please comment "Done"!
