What's your priority?

Effective prioritization skills are key to good time management skills and can boost productivity and positively impact overall job performance. Geoffrey James, columnist on Inc.com and author of 'Business to Business Selling' believes that popular time management systems such as to do lists and schedules actually waste time as they encourage us to spend too much time on less "valuable" tasks. 

He has proposed a interesting prioritization method based on the Pareto Principle, which states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes, to rank tasks according to their potential positive or valuable result.  While his method can not be applied to every type of task, it is definitely worth considering.
