       Planner is a more substantial action tracking
       tool that is implemented as part of Office 365
       Groups.  Planner gives you and your wider
       team clear visibility of group tasks and the
       ability to assign them to the right people.                                    Action
                                                                                          1

                        Top Tip                consider setting a start-up browser window that

                                               includes one of the task planning options. That way it’s
                                               always front-of-mind.








       Prioritisation
                                              Tackle your daily to-do list
       Intelligently managing your
       time isn’t about dealing
       with actions as soon they
       fall on your desk, nor simply
       dealing with them in the
       order in which they came
       in. Productive people
       prioritise their incoming
       workload.

       A Prioritisation matrix is a
       great method to organise
       your upcoming activity and ensure that the urgent and important activities are given
       adequate weight.

       Due to the simplicity of the tool, this can be either a physical or mental activity. It’s just a case
       of applying some considered thought before jumping into action.


       If you are applying personal Kanban, you might think about using this prioritisation method
       for deciding which activity should move into your ‘in-progress’ section.
