Too Many Options, Let’s Break It Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m easily distracted. But, I’m good about finding time to work on what’s important. When you have a dozen projects going at once (not an exaggeration) you have find ways to prioritize. I use a prioritization matrix<\/a> to help me work through what’s important. I don’t do this weekly or even monthly. It’s more of a semi-annual check in. Usually, I have my projects on one axis and on the other axis is a list of criteria. The criteria are factors that I want to weigh in my decision making process. Some of my criteria are: fun, level of effort, cost, growth. Each of the criteria has a weight and over time that weight and the value I assign change. I keep a big spreadsheet with these matrices over time and I find it interesting to see how my priorities shift. Each project ends up with a total value and then I look at the scores and make an informed decision. The scores do not dictate my action, but it is a helpful exercise and gives me more insight into what I should be focusing on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
