I love the idea of assigning a point value. I don't currently do this but I do know what my goals are and I ask myself: "How does this move me towards my goals (both today and long-term)?" If it doesn't, it becomes less of a priority.

One book I recently enjoyed along this topic recently is: "9 Steps to Work Less & Do More" It starts off of course by outlining your goals first and foremost!

Ivan, good point. I’ve listed accounting because it’s one of those things everyone puts off.

Hi Becky,

Another tactic is to delegate tasks that distract you from high level activities, for instance, I did my book-keeping for years until I found a good Accountant.

There is always the upfront cost but now he does the books (and saves me money with tax breaks etc) and I focus on more productive activities.
