A common theme in many of our articles and conversations with leaders is this idea of “busyness.”

With that in mind, we really loved this post from AJ Silber ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajsilber/ ) on the difference between being “busy” and being “productive.”

There’s a critical difference between busy and productive.

And the best leaders know the secret: Prioritization.

When you focus on the tasks that matter most, everything changes.

But how do CEOs and high performers decide what comes first?

Here are 9 strategies to help you prioritize like a CEO:

— Eisenhower Matrix
Focus on tasks with real impact by evaluating urgency vs. importance.

— 3-3-3 Method
Simplify your objectives by limiting your day to three tasks.

— Time Blocking
Enhance focus by setting specific time slots for your most important tasks.

— ABCDE Method
Prioritize by importance: Start with A’s and move down to E’s.

— MOSCOW Method
Categorize tasks by need: Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won’t have.

— Kanban Board
Monitor progress consistently with a visual workflow.

— 25/5 Rule
Identify your top 5 goals—disregard the rest to sharpen your focus.

— Pareto Principle
Apply the 80/20 rule: Focus on the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of results.

— Theory of Constraints
Increase operational flow by resolving bottlenecks.

Start making better decisions with your time today.
