| Not every project or task you take on requires your immediate attention. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, ask yourself a few questions to help you prioritize your to-do list. First, why is this task necessary? If there’s no clear answer, it’s probably not urgent. Second, what would happen a month from now if you don’t get this done? It’s tempting to barrel through your list for the sake of crossing things off, but before you spend time on a task, visualize its future impact on you, your stakeholders, and your business. If you don’t see a long-term impact, consider passing. Third, are you the right person to do this task? If not, consider whether you can delegate to someone else. Finally, did you agree to take on this task for the right reasons? You may have told yourself, “People will think I’m rude if I say no,” or “My direct reports are too busy to do this.” If you said yes for the wrong reasons, chances are you’re the wrong person for the job. |

Ghia Sakanti Narendrakanyaka - 2001578374 We must know what should be prioritized, as this article tells us if we want to do something we have to choose what we should do first and what we can do later. We also have to think right, we suit for the task or not. We can give to anyone that suit for the task, just remember we can’t do all the task by our self.

Maximilian Fajar Linus Maximilian Fajar Linus - 2001574874 - LA26. Making priority scale becomes very important. Priority scale can help us in determining the sequence of tasks that must be completed in accordance with the required criteria. If the work is done in groups then determine which part is considered appropriate in your field, this can provide more maximum results in the task both in terms of completion time and the end result.
