How to manage multiple priorities

Time management and prioritisation is very much down to what works best for the individual. There is no magic formula; it’s about identifying the tools and techniques that work best for you and your organisation.

By a show of hands, most seminar delegates revealed that they write ‘to do’ lists.

Jane advised delegates not to confuse what they write on the list with what their key priorities are. One useful tip is to identify one main priority that you would like to achieve during the day and to make that your key focus. Another tip is to try to cluster tasks into more manageable pockets of work.
