There are enough hours in the day. Let’s figure out how to leverage them.

We collected a few cliff notes from our “Get ‘Er Done: Prioritization & Time Management” session just in case you couldn’t make it, but we’ve linked the recording below for your viewing pleasure as well.

   2. Tasks (<30 min)
   3. Weekly To Do List
   4. Backburner
   5. Recurring

1. Estimate how long each item on your Weekly To Do List will take
