Prioritizing....

Do you remember the first time you thought how great it was to be able to do multiple things at once - or multi-task? I remember being in college thinking I was a hot-shot because I could "multi-task" - when being intereviewed for campus leadership positions it was a huge buzz word - one I used and one I heard.

My coach Scott Gordon and I have had a few conversations about this whole multi-tasking stuff. Joe Stumpf, likely the best real estate trainer in the country, also has a lot to say about multi-tasking. The main point...it's really not good. When we've got a bunch of stuff on our plate and we're trying to do a little on one project and a little on the other projects, it leads to poor quality and slower results.

So what should we do? Prioritize. What's the most important thing to accomplish RIGHT NOW - the highest and best use of your time and brain waves. Sometimes I have a really hard time figuring that out. When it is choose between activity A and activity B, it's easy. When I have a list of 12 things - it's not quite that easy.

The other day Scott shared a great tool with me - the Prioritizer.

Cool stuff. I hope it's as helpful to you as it has been to me.
