Daily Task Prioritisation

Capture all tasks and commitments for today

Include meetings, deadlines, errands, and small tasks on one list.

Clarify the desired outcome for each task

Write a one-line result to avoid vague tasks.

Estimate time and effort for each task

Use rough minutes or hours so you can schedule accurately.

Sort tasks using the Eisenhower matrix

Group by urgent vs important to decide action type.

Assign urgent and important tasks (Do first)

Tasks that require immediate action and have high impact.

Assign important but not urgent tasks (Schedule)

Plan time for these to prevent future crises.

Assign urgent but not important tasks (Delegate or limit)

Find someone to delegate or set a strict time limit.

Mark not urgent and not important tasks to delete or defer

Remove low-value items or add them to a 'someday' list.

Choose 1–3 Most Important Tasks (MITs) for the day

Pick tasks that move the needle toward your goals.

Time-block the MITs into your calendar

Allocate uninterrupted slots and protect them like meetings.

Batch similar smaller tasks together

Group email, calls, and admin to reduce context switching.

Delegate tasks that others can do

Assign clear outcomes and deadlines when delegating.

Schedule short tasks into quick slots

Use 5–15 minute pockets for chores or tiny actions.

Set a timer or use Pomodoro for focused work

Work in 25–50 minute blocks with short breaks.

Add buffer time between time blocks

Include 10–20 minutes to handle overruns and transitions.

Review progress mid-day and adjust priorities

Reassign or reschedule tasks based on what's changed.

Do an end-of-day review and move unfinished tasks

Log what was done, defer or replan unfinished items for tomorrow.
