List Making -- Allows Frequent Reassessing of Priorities
By Tony Jeary
Stay Ahead of the Power Curve
Recreating lists frequently forces us to confront items on our list that don't seem to be progressing the way we wanted them to.
When I first put an item on a list, I often (at least mentally) assign it a priority and a completion date. This item may have several sub-items related to it. If I find myself or my staff getting behind the power curve on some of the sub-tasks, this tells me I need to elevate the priority of the entire project.
In the same way, I can lower priorities for similar reasons. If I did not recreate my master lists frequently, I would not be aware of these subtle factors, and deadlines would probably not be met.
