Prioritizing tasks is a common challenge for so many of us, especially those of us who are neurodiverse and often struggle with competing demands, fluctuating energy, and the constant pull of urgency. Maybe you’re staring at a mountain of tasks where everything feels important and you have no idea where to begin. But what if, by exploring your unique tendencies, you can quiet the noise, sort through the chaos, and tackle what truly matters?
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I explore four popular methods to prioritize tasks effectively, breaking down the pros and cons of each to help you figure out which method fits you best.
I cover the following topics:
- Why prioritization is essential for conserving mental energy, reducing stress, and achieving meaningful goals.
- Reviewing four prioritization systems: the Eisenhower Matrix, Eat the Frog, MITs, and the A, B, C Method.
- A bonus, alternative energy-based prioritization method to align tasks with your natural productivity rhythms.
- Tips for experimenting with different methods, pairing them with your unique tendencies, and checking in on how they make you feel.
By finding the right prioritization system for your season of life, you can reclaim your focus and intentionally choose what matters most.
