List and briefly describe five tips to follow when setting up a priority list

What will be an ideal response?

1. Select the task or project that will, in your opinion, advance the productivity of your department the most, and put it at the top of your list. Leave it there until it is completed or a more important task surfaces.
2. List two additional tasks or projects that are less important but should still be numbers 2 and 3 on your pad. Frequently these tasks present less time pressure.
3. List, in succession, any tasks (reports, appointments, telephone calls, counseling) that either must or should be accomplished before you leave work.
4. Select and list a "fun" project—something you can look forward to doing as an end-of-day personal reward—near or at the bottom of your list.
5. Try to restrict the number of tasks on your list to about seven. Too many priority projects can lead to confusion and de-motivation. Even though it may be your goal to accomplish as much as possible in a single day, some tasks will wait until tomorrow.
