Regarding those “LOTS of tasks,” my recommendation is to first see which of those are Someday or Maybe tasks. If it is something you don’t seriously want to give attention to until the following month (or even two or three weeks from now), or even later, set it aside in a Someday category. You may even find several tasks that are really “Maybe” tasks, too, ones that you are not truly decided to spend the time on.

Best wishes on it. It’s pretty easy stuff once you get past that initial categorization of stuff.

First of all, I’m using Outlook and Windows Mobile with Pocket Informant for my PIMs. In order to not lose focus on my priorities, I have been reviewing and setting up my tasks/next actions that I want accomplish in a week for Friday of that week. I prioritize them using Pocket Informant’s ABC/123 priorities and tweak them daily as needed.

I am still trying to set up my contexts/categories so as to be able to perform non-prioritized tasks depending upon the context I find myself in. This has proven to be a sticking point for me as I have LOTS of tasks that I would have to change. I want to make sure I do it right the first time.

Anyway, just wanted to say that it’s comforting to see someone else who thinks that prioritization is important.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you — for the reminder and review! Life moves fast – we need to remain focused. I appreciate your incite – I will be taking time to re-think my goals…
