Copy-Paste/Request: Please Share Your Prioritization Methods Here
Just a copy of my post on DonationCoder for hikikomories who aren’t comfortable with creating a forum account:
I don’t know how one can, in honesty, tout a prioritization scheme that says starting a blog is more important than making friends.Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/1sxv8/ I think it’s a valid criticism and since I don’t know how to use SpreadSheets, I’ve never bothered with complicated or over-simplified grid comparing techniques.I think this holds true for Project Management too.
For the most part, the prioritization methods I’ve found are either too focus-centric on tasks to the point that they are more self-reflective projections on what you know or intend on doing first anyway or they are as rigid as GTD contexts and it ends up serving those who can already achieve their tasks rather than help those who have problems with prioritizing…or simply put, it’s an optimization hack rather than a “help me!” technique and that’s no good for those actually searching for a how to.
