Most people are terrible at this critical skill. 10x your productivity by prioritizing like a pro. The Impact x Effort (or Action Priority) Matrix enables: ➠ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀: No more distractions.

One of my favorite frameworks - I use my calendar aggressively to drive these. It takes a lot of effort to let go of the time wasters but has the highest reward!
This is such an excellent cheat sheet and I love that you’ve included examples of application for all. We need to see prioritizing as a regular and necessary part of planning our work so that we can achieve without all the stress. Alex Stanton
Seems simple but is actually quite elusive for many, given the hectic culture of some organisations. If more people were to use this chart, they'll prioritise like a pro (me included 😊 ) Alex Stanton
"Commit to projects aligned to your main goals."👌 👌
Great cheat sheet Alex Stanton. I'm wondering how I can use this beyond work. Thinking as I type, what metrics will I want to measure if I'm using this in my personal life.
I use this framework everyday to prioritize my tasks. Especially identifying and planning for the big bets. So often those get pushed aside but it’s so important for personal growth and wellbeing Alex Stanton
The idea of using impact and effort as indicators to drive success is very interesting Alex Stanton . Which one did you find the most useful?
Priorities......so simple and complex at the same time.
Scheduling potential distractions is a great idea, Alex. In fact, scheduling tasks that are challenging or new is always a good idea. It's more likely we get things done when they're in our calendars.

9moPrioritization is HUGE. We have many things to do every day. I usually put in three categories: P1, P2, P3. I like how you broke down the use cases.
