Course Description
Not all productivity is the same because some tasks are a higher priority than others. Learning how to assess and prioritize tasks builds time- and task- management skills. Prioritizing is essential for avoiding task paralysis, which is when someone has so much to do that they end up doing nothing. This can happen when employees don’t use strategies for prioritizing their work. It can be hard to determine what tasks are the most important. The process often aligns with goal setting, too. So how do you set priorities based on your goals? What methods can you use to prioritize your work effectively?

This includes following through and adapting when you encounter obstacles to achieving goals.
