your priority changes because change happens

Personal Prioritization

We start the day thinking we know what is going to happen...then we are surprised.

Almost ... every ... day.

We then feel behind. Our priorities shifted, but the work that needed to be done is still undone. People ask "When will that be done?" You find you have no reply but a shrug.

Prioritization isn't just about knowing what is important, it's about knowing what you are doing and why, learning about what interrupts you, and making promises to others and yourself that you can keep.

You can better manage what you can see. Your priorities are set visually and in context. They are part of the story. They will change as the day goes on.

Communicate Visually &

Seeing how tasks are ranked and shift throughout the day tells us a lot about how we select work, why we are often disappointed, and what we can truly get done.
