Task Sorting
Notes
every task should be divided into one of four categories in order to find the best solution to solving it
How to sort a task:
- Delete - is the task even worth doing? is it beneficial or important? otherwise - delete it,
- Delay - is it important to do it now? also - consider the "2 minute rule". else, delay it the 2 minute rule
- Delegate - is it worth your time? imagine you evaluate your time as an hourly rate of income. does this task justifies this cost? otherwise, try to delegate it to a person (for exp - finding someone to fix a leak in the house, repair the car...). 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
- Do - if all else fails, just do the task
