Manage your time with the TTO Technique

Have you ever found that there is not enough time in the day?
Always more to do than time to do it in? Me too. I would suggest this
would apply to most people in my opinion. You often hear "but I just
haven't got the time" or "I'm too busy" or similar words relating to
things that are on the "to do" list but are not getting done.
We all only have 24 hours in a day, so it might be wise to assume
that success must relate to what you do with your time and not the
amount of it. On that basis I knew I had to look into ways to combat
the things that were eroding my time and also prioritise to achieve
highly rewarding tasks and thus pay days.
I started to develop the TTO technique, which in itself wasn't unique
but it had a simplicity about it and can be done anywhere. Within
your mind, on paper, or on smart devices. Other people's version's
that I had come across were not simple enough and thus not " brain
portable" and for busy people that's getting on for useless.
Prioritising time and analysing the most important things to do and
in what order, instantly on a points scoring basis, was my way of
transforming my day from a series of reactive task's to pro-active
measures. It gets the important things done.
T – Task Importance
How important is the task to your overall objective? Will not
achieving this affect your future success?
1 – Not important at all
2 – Fairly important
3 – Important
4 – Very important but not vital
5 – Vital
T – Time Dependent
How vital is it to perform this task quickly, within a time scale? Could
not doing this within the time frame mean failure of your objective.
1 – Future task
2 – Can be done at any time
3 – Necessary
4 – Urgent
5 – Must be done immediately
O – Opportunity Cost
If you miss this opportunity will this mean you will never get the
chance again?
1 – The opportunity will be there everyday
2 – Likely to be there permanently
3 – Opportunity may be lost
4 – Good chance this opportunity will be lost
5 – The opportunity will never come again
