Feeling overwhelmed and busy is a common challenge for many of us, especially when juggling multiple projects and commitments. In this episode of PivotMe, April introduces three powerful decision filters that can help you ruthlessly prioritize your tasks and regain control of your time. It’s not about getting more done faster; it’s about getting the right things done faster. By using these decision filters, you’ll be able to identify which tasks truly need your attention and which can be delegated, delayed, or dropped altogether.

Key Points:

  • Overwhelm and Busyness: April discusses how feeling overwhelmed often stems from taking on too many tasks without discerning which ones are truly necessary. It’s crucial to decide which plates to keep spinning and which to set down.
  • The 3 Decision Filters: April explains the decision filters to use every day:
    1. Does this need to be done?
    2. Does this need to be done by me?
    3. Is this a 10x or 2x opportunity?
  • Academy Client Share: April shares a case study from a client in the PivotMe Academy who transformed his consulting business by applying the decision filters. By delegating time-consuming analytics and editing tasks, he freed up several hours each week and was able to take on an additional client, achieving "more money, in less time."
  • Implementing the Filters: April provides practical tips on how to integrate these decision filters into your daily routine and shares common tasks that are easy to delegate or eliminate.
  • Wins: The episode closes with a celebration of recent wins from the PivotMe community, reinforcing how using these decision filters has empowered listeners to reclaim their time.

 

Overwhelm and busyness are often the result of tackling too many unnecessary tasks. By using these three decision filters daily, you can better prioritize your to-do list, delegate when possible, and focus on opportunities that will have the most impact. Remember, productivity isn’t just about doing things faster—it’s about doing the right things faster. Implement these decision filters to reclaim your time and power.
