Learn how to effectively manage your tasks at school, work, home, and personal life – so you know how to use your time productively. Knowing how to get things done effectively can help you improve your time management and become more productive.

Do you have a lot to do but feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start? This video shows you an easy way to prioritize your tasks in the right order so you can be more productive and have time for the important things in your life.

There are two factors that determine what we do: urgent and important.
– Urgent means that it requires your immediate attention and has immediate consequences.
– What's important is anything that helps us achieve our own long-term goals and values. These are the things that will have a big impact on your life. But because they don't have a clear deadline and the consequences of not doing them aren't immediately apparent, it's easier to tell yourself, "You'll do that later."

The first step in prioritizing is to write a list of all the things you need to do.
The next step is to classify each task on your list into one of the following categories:

*THE EISENHOWER MATRIX*
Steven Covey also described this process in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This method helps you quickly identify the activities you should focus on when you're pressed for time and keeps your long-term goals in mind.

BOX 1: important and urgent
Example: project deadlines, medical emergencies and problems.
Strategy: Do it NOW.

BOX 2: –important and not urgent
Example: health, relationships and dreams.
Strategy: Plan and get it done as quickly as possible.

BOX 3: Urgent and non-important activities
Example: interruptions, random phone calls/SMS, unimportant emails.
Strategy: Postpone or delegate

BOX 4: not urgent and not important
Example: watching TV, checking social media and other time wasters.
Strategy: Do it later or avoid it altogether!

When you know your priorities, you organize your life accordingly. Your actions reflect your priorities and to be able to say yes to them, you must be willing to say no to something else. We all have 24 hours. You always have time to do what you think is important. It's about respecting your time. And setting the right priorities is a good start!

Thanks for watching, we'll talk again next time! 🙂
