ABC/Pareto Analyses Method. Based on the 80/20 Pareto principle, this effective time management method helps you prioritize by showing you how to complete 80% of your “easier” tasks within 20% of the allotted time and the remaining 20% of your more challenging tasks within the remaining 80%. This is for a very busy individual who has to juggle many things at the same time. To do this, you’ll clearly need to outline and arrange your to-dos according to their order of importance and urgency. A will be to-dos that are both urgent and important. B will be to-dos that aren’t critical, but necessary. C will be to-dos that are neither important nor urgent. When you are done categorizing them, you’ll then further break the activities in each group down to their time limits and ease. When you are done, you’ll then start with the easiest ones. Doing this will help you buildthe necessary momentum, think of it as a warm-up of sorts, required to work on the harder ones and most importantly, takes less time. I have found this to be a better approach than starting with the most difficult tasks. That has never quite worked for me. You do not climb a mountain by starting at the top. You start at the bottom and then work your way up. These are the most effective time management methods I have ever used, and they seem to work effectively for me and hordes of other productive folks. Oh… there goes my 35-minute alarm. Need to take another 7-10 minute break. #TimeManagement
