Prioritization is a positive skill that often requires practice before you can really master it (I'm still working on it). When you have a long list of things to do, finding out which ones have priority can be, to say the least, difficult.
I've been on the side where I literally did not know what to prioritize and how. As life has presented itself to me with all its glory, I realized and designed a 3-step system that works positively for me. I'm sure it will also work wonders
It´s impossible to prioritize when you do not have a clear idea of what should be done. Get in the habit of making a detailed list of everything you want to do each day. You can make your list the night before or first thing in the morning, but be sure to establish a routine and stick to it so you don´t forget.
A good way to solve this is to consider the consequences of NOT doing everything on the list. What would happen if you did not complete your work project on time or take your child to an appointment with the doctor? Anything that can create negative consequences if it is not completed should have a very high priority. You can use a letter to label each item on your list, if it is useful.
If you aren´t used to working in such an organized way, you may forget to check your list throughout the day, or you may find yourself becoming distracted and losing track of time.
