Episode 4008: Carl Pullein reframes prioritization as a clarity problem, not a time problem, arguing that knowing what you truly want and identifying your core work makes daily decisions far easier. By aligning tasks with meaningful goals and focusing on the work you’re actually paid to do, you can reduce stress while making consistent progress in both your professional and personal life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.carlpullein.com/blog/how-to-prioritise-effectively/9/6/2021 Quotes to ponder: "You have far more tasks to complete than time available." "If you do not know what you want, you will find that everything that comes across your desk is a priority because there is no context to decide." "Prioritising is not a science. It is an art, and you will get better the more you practice it." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
