What is the one thing that if done will make everything else easier or irrelevant? ## Prefer tasks that are - relevant to current priority - things that need to be done - straight forward, without nuance, easy to do well - less prone to wasted effort (rock climing + plateus) - reusable and iterative - enable others to contribute - provide opportunities for engagement - remote and require only 1 person - similar to other tasks (batch stuff) - quick ## Questions to help prioritize - could we accomplish what we want to if we didn't do the task in question - what is the one thing that if done will make everything else easier - can someone else accomplish this tasks (makes less sense for doctors to fight fires) - will x approach lead to helping more animals ## Things to remember - everything we do should be to maximize the number of animals we can help - work like the crow flies. random walks are incredibly ineffective - Parkinson law - a task will take up the amount of time you give it - do not trade tomorrow for a couple extra hours today ## Related - [[Tasks]] - [[01 Unsorted/management]]
