Priority tasking continued

• Any work day should include a mixture of A-, B- and C-tasks!

• Plan a selection of tasks that you can realistically achieve in the work day

• Spread the three types of tasks throughout the day, i.e. intersperse blocks of concentration (for A-tasks) with periods of less demanding B- and C-tasks
