ditch the daily 'to do' list - weekly priorities cheat sheet
TRANSCRIPT
How to use this template
As you write your weekly ‘to do’ list, categorise each task by Importance and Urgency to prioritise your
efforts for the week. Here’s how to deal with each category.
Delegate it Do it today
??? Diarise it
Parking lot
Do you have any tasks that are not urgent
and not important? Before you jot down a
task in that bottom left hand corner, think
for a minute. If it’s not urgent, and it’s not
important, why are you doing it?
Sometimes tasks will be urgent/important
in the future, but aren’t urgent/important
right now. In that case, flip over your
page, and write on the back of the page
any items for your parking lot. You can
transfer these over to the front page next
week once they’re a higher priority.
