Prioritizing effectively is one of the most important keys to your success.
When you feel like you’re working on the right thing at the right time, it’s easier to focus and stay engaged.
Prioritizing is a continuous activity.
It’s about making trade-offs.

It’s about making trade-offs.
Rather than prioritize with p1, p2, p3.
I’ve found it way more helpful to think in terms of
MUST,
SHOULD,
COULD.
I’ve found it way more helpful to think in terms of
MUST,
SHOULD,
COULD.
Every day ask these typical 3 questions:
Ask yourself …
- What MUST I do today?
- What SHOULD I do?
- What COULD I do?
If you have more than three, then limit to three max.
Because it will help you focus and remember them easily.

Why Priorities Matter:
Time spent identifying your three MUSTs for the day is more than worth it because it gives you flexibility.
Without knowing your three MUSTs,
everything is mushy and you have nothing to steer by.
- Nailing your MUSTs builds a rhythm of results.

▫ Absorb what is useful.
It’s not about blindly adopting patterns and practices
It’s about taking the best of the best and tailoring it
It’s also about throwing away what doesn’t work
“Absorb what is useful,
Discard what is not,
Add what is uniquely your own.”
- Bruce Lee

▫ Apply what you know.
Life is not about watching from the sidelines.
Use what you know and put knowledge into practice.
Test yourself.
Knowing is not enough, we must do it.
Willing is not enough, we must apply.

▫ Results Over Productivity
Focus more on results.
Don’t just do more things for the sake of doing.
Instead of using efficiency as the ultimate measure of success, make it more about effectiveness, value, and impact.
