More on prioritising tasks

I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks at the to do list and can't be bothered to do any of it.

And then picks up my knitting or picks the thing from the list that is most appealing. I've said in previous posts 'why not?'

How about this trick; write beside each task a monetary value and how soon that value could be realised. Then think about the next big goal - the next new car or holiday.

Suddenly the list looks quite different and it's more obvious which one to do first!
