Ever feel like your to-do list has turned into a chaotic mountain of tasks? You’re not alone! Prioritizing can be challenging, especially when every task feels equally important. I've listed three of my favorite below. Plus, stick around for a quiz at the end to help you pick the method that suits you best! 1. The Eisenhower Matrix A favorite for many, the Eisenhower Matrix helps you categorize tasks into four quadrants: Urgent and Important: Do these now. Important, but Not Urgent: Schedule these. Urgent, but Not Important: Delegate if possible. Neither Urgent nor Important: Consider dropping these. 2. MoSCoW Prioritization The MoSCoW method focuses on categorizing tasks by priority: Must-haves: Absolutely essential tasks. Should-haves: Important but not critical. Could-haves: Nice to include if time allows. Won't-haves: Skip for now. 3. ABC Analysis This method is great for productivity junkies! Sort tasks into: A: High-priority tasks with the highest impact. B: Medium-priority tasks that need attention but aren’t game-changers. C: Low-priority tasks that can wait. 🧩 Quiz Time! Which Prioritization Method is Right for You? Answer these quick questions: 🖍️Do you prefer having a visual approach to your tasks? Yes -> Eisenhower Matrix No -> Try MoSCoW 🖍️Do you have a lot of strict deadlines? Yes -> ABC Analysis No -> MoSCoW 🖍️Are you juggling between urgent and non-urgent tasks daily? Yes -> Eisenhower Matrix No -> ABC Analysis

Feeling like your to-do list is conspiring against you? The Eisenhower Matrix might be your superhero sidekick, especially if you love visuals. But if deadlines are your nemesis, ABC Analysis can be your go-to. And hey, just like "Her Ideal Match" helps men understand what women really like, picking the right prioritization method can help you understand what tasks truly deserve your time! 🌟

Oh wow thanks for the tips and the quiz! One of my colleagues is facing difficulties on tracking tasks due to ADHD, what would be the best tasks tracker for ADHD?

@calvin_park1110 I’ve heard that apps like Amazing Marvin, TickTick, Trello, and Todoist are pretty ADHD-friendly, with features like Pomodoro timers, customizable reminders, and visual boards that make it easier to focus and prioritize. Curious if anyone here has experience with these or any other recommendations!
