10 PRIORITIZING Prioritizing is a skill that will be mentioned a lot in this session. To prioritize is to decide what the most important jobs are. Your priority is the task that is most important. Prioritizing is the key to time management. To manage your time you should always prioritize your tasks and accomplish them in the order of priority.

11 PRIORITIZING Here are some examples of prioritizing… Example 1 Marcus has to prepare a speech for his parents 50 th wedding anniversary next month. However, he also has to finish a report for his job that is due by the end of the week. Marcus decides to finish the report before he starts thinking about the speech because it is due first.

12 PRIORITIZING Here are some examples of prioritizing… Example 2 Clara has two projects on the go at work. She has to finish a budget summary and and inventory report in two weeks. The budget report is essential to the company’s upcoming meeting and can only be completed by her. The inventory report can be done with her co-workers and is an important topic of interest at the meeting. Clara decides to start the budget report first. She also asks her co-workers to start the inventory report on their own; she will join them later.

13 ACTIVITY Complete the “Ali’s Calendar” activity.

Urgent Jobs are jobs that need to be done as quickly as possible Important jobs are necessary to reach your goals
