ABCDE Method

We have learned so much in the last 5 chapters. In chapter 6 Tracy introduces the ABDCE method. How does this work?

1. Start a list of everything you have to do for the day.
2. The go back and list them in order of importance. For example, the A item should be the most important and so one. He tells us if you have two items of major importance then number them A1, and A2. Eating the biggest and ugliest one first.
**For those of us familiar with the Franklin Covey system it is very similar to that.
3. A "B" task is defined as a should do, but only has a mild consequence if left undone. And you should never begin a "B" task if an "A" task is incomplete.
4. A "C" task is one that would be nice to see done but has no consequences. This is similar to phoning a friend or having coffee with a co-worker.
5. A "D" task is something you can delegate to someone else. Delegate everything someone else can do to free you up for more important things.
6. An "E" task is something you can eliminate altogether and not make a difference. Maybe a task that is no longer relevant.

NOW GO TAKE ACTION!!!
