Make next week’s workload manageable
A tool for project and people managers
October 4, 2022
Overview
To-do lists are good for making sure you don’t forget things but bad for helping you prioritize and plan your time. With all the things on managers’ plates, most to-do lists just keep growing, until lost or tossed in frustration.
Use this tool to make your workload manageable and focused. Instead of making to-do lists, create a Do-Defer-Delegate List:
- What will you DO? Focus your time on the most pressing to-dos.
- What will you DEFER? Pause on what's less urgent.
- What will you DELEGATE? Offload to-dos better suited for someone else.
