If you created a list of the top 10 objectives of your job and you asked your boss to do the same, do you think the lists would match? In order to effectively choose your daily actions, you need to know what is expected of you.
Prioritizing daily actions is something many people struggle with. But this “what should I do first” conundrum is not necessary. It comes down to knowing your larger goals and objectives and making those happen first.
Action – If you haven’t got an agreed list of job objectives with your boss, that is the first place to start. Speak to him or her on a regular basis in a way that makes sense for your job.
If there is no list, create one—you’ll be helping yourself AND you’ll make a great impression with your boss!
Use the list as the basis upon which you make your daily action choices.
The larger objectives are always the framework from which the daily tasks are set.
