#153 Use The Productivity Hack: The 3 Question Prioritizer

In this episode, I share a simple productivity trick that has helped both me and my clients. I talk about how doing a full brain dump, getting every task out of my head and onto paper or a Trello board, instantly gives me clarity and peace. Once everything is written down, I can finally see what needs to be done instead of carrying it all in my mind.

Then I explain how I sort my tasks into three lists: high priority, medium priority, and low priority. I only allow myself to put five tasks in each list so I don’t feel overwhelmed. I also ask myself three questions to decide what goes into high priority: Does it move me closer to my goal? Am I the only one who can do it? And does this match my energy today? By breaking tasks into smaller steps and moving them to a “done” list, I stay motivated and get more done.

Key Topics Covered:

• Doing a full brain dump to clear my mind

• Using Trello as a free digital bulletin board

• Creating three lists: high, medium, and low priority

• Limiting each list to five tasks

• Breaking big tasks into small, easy steps

• Moving finished tasks to a “done” list for motivation

• Re-prioritizing tasks as life changes

• Asking if a task moves me closer to my goals

• Asking if I should do the task or outsource it

• Checking if the task matches my energy or capacity for the day
