When to use it

Use Prioritisation to help people focus their best attention on what matters. Discussing ways to identify and schedule top-priority tasks ensures the most important work gets the focus and care it deserves.

Use it when

People struggle to tell the urgent from the important.
A team wants shared ways to decide what comes first.
Best energy is going to low-value tasks.

Not the right tool when

The focus is managing tasks and to-do lists. Use Task Management.
You want to plan around energy levels. Use Energy Management.
