Task Sorting

Notes

Claim

every task should be divided into one of four categories in order to find the best solution to solving it

Explanation

How to sort a task:

1. Delete - is the task even worth doing? is it beneficial or important? otherwise - delete it,
2. Delay - is it important to do it now? also - consider the "2 minute rule". else, delay it If a task takes under two minutes do it now
3. Delegate - is it worth your time? imagine you evaluate your time as an hourly rate of income. does this task justifies this cost Pricing your time reveals when to delegate? otherwise, try to delegate it to a person (for exp - finding someone to fix a leak in the house, repair the car...) Delegating production trades control for efficiency. also, another possibility is to delegate it to an automation process. try to see if this recurring task can be partially done by a software/code/tool you set-up Automation extends delegation beyond people
4. Do - if all else fails, just do the task
