IVY LEE METHOD
At the end of each workday, write down the 6 most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow, in order of importance. This allows you to come into work the next day with clear expectations for yourself. You should not move on in your list until the prior item is complete.
1-3-5 RULE
This prioritization strategy assumes you can only accomplish 1 big thing, 3 medium things, and 5 small things each day. This helps you focus, think critically about your work to categories each task as "big", "medium", or "small", and reprioritize your work if anything changes day-of.
