‘Managing’ Time
You’ve got 20 different tasks that ‘must’ get done today. How do you decide what to do first?
Closest deadline What’s costing the most
Who’s shouting the loudest What do you like doing
What’s making the most money What’s the quickest to finish
What do you least like doing What’s the easiest
What’s the hardest

Ideas
Paired Decisions
Good if you have lots to do and difficult to prioritise
Quicker than it looks
List all ‘to dos’
Compare each one with another, eg 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 1 and 5. Then 2 and 3, 2 and 4 etc. Decide which of each pair is most important.
Do them in order of priority as identified by the choices
See link for example: http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_02.htm
