ABCDE method
It's a method for setting priorities. Determine your major goals or objectives in your task list(I wrote about how to do that in part 1 and part 2). Mark each of your task on your list with one letter - A/B/C/D/E before you begin.
A stands for “very important;” something you must do. There can be serious negative consequences if you don’t do it.
B stands for “important;” something you should do. This is not as important as your ‘A’ tasks. There are only minor negative consequences if it is not completed.
C stands for things that are “nice to do;” but which are not as important as ‘A’ or ‘B,’ tasks. There are no negative consequences for not completing it.
D stands for “delegate.” You can assign this task to someone else who can do the job instead of you.
E stands for “eliminate, whenever possible.” You should eliminate every single activity you possibly can, to free up your time.
Conclusion
When you use the A-B-C-D-E method, you can very easily sort out what is important and unimportant. It will focus your time and attention on those items on your list that are most essential for you to do.
