Course Overview

Time is fixed: we all know that. So how do we know which jobs to tackle when we're under pressure from several directions? That's where the Prioritization Grid comes in.

In this course, we don't just show you how to place your job list into the grid. We also show you how to use the Four Ds to decide what to do with the jobs in each section of the grid.

We start with a thorough treatment of the Prioritization Grid, as a way of managing a busy workload when deadlines are approaching. We then show you how to use the Four Ds to simplify your decisions on what to do with each job.

With these tools at your disposal, you'll be well-placed to deal with heavy and diverse workloads in a confident and competent way.
