Ranking priorities

     Ranking priority is a useful strategy to arrange the multiple tasks and categorize those tasks by the most immediate attention. I usually have lots of works on Wednesday. Before I used this strategy, I am usually confused what I have to do first and what I have to do later. When I first used this strategy, I wondered that it will be helpful to manage time
     First, I made a list of every tasks that I need to finish by this weekend. I categorized them by their due dates. This process helped me to see tasks' immediacy easily. Then, I ranked each items by three different parts, A(absolutely essential), B(important), and C(optional). After raking, I divided them by letter and ranked them numerically within each group, As the picture above, A1-2D illustrator, A2, A3, B1, B2,etc, I usually wrote next day tasks on A group, due to friday tasks on B group, and laundry and other small works on C group.
    After I divided them by groups, I could realize tasks' immediacy and importance easily. I stated to accomplish each in order. Then, I moved on to the next work in order. Although I had several break times between the orders. I tried to finish them quickly because I realized that those tasks are immediate.
    As a result, I could accomplish those tasks quicker than before. Ranking priority is a useful and efficient strategy, especially when I have lots of works to do. Before I state tasks, I put a raking priority post-it on the desk. It helps me to finish works on time and manage time wisely.
