ABC - planning.

• A - the most important cases, take up about 15% of all cases, but bring in 65%.
• B - the second highest priority. They account for ~20% of all cases and produce 20% of results.
• C - the least important plans. They take about 65% of time and bring about 15% of results.

Eisenhower's principle.

*The principle is similar to ABC - you simply divide your tasks by importance your tasks by importance and priority. The scheme consists of 4 blocks and are performed in the following order:

• 1 BLOCK - the most urgent and important cases (deadlines are on fire);
• 2 Block - urgent but not important (deadlines can be extended);
• 3 Block - not urgent, but important;
• 4 BLOCK - not urgent and not important (e.g., buy soda or matches once every six months).

The Pareto Rule / 80/20 Principle.

*The essence is the smallest part of actions yields the largest part of the results and vice versa.

20 % of effort yields 80 % of result, and the remaining 80 % efforts yield only 20 % results. This means that with the right planning and prioritization, you'll be as efficient as possible. Also, this principle can also be applied to increase productivity: 80% work, 20% rest.

Setting goals according to the SMART model:

S (specific) M (measurable) A (attainable) R (relevant) T (time-bound). This means that your goal should specific (S), measurable (A) - how you will know whether you have achieved it or not; attainable (M) - this distinguishes a goal from a dream; relevant (R) is about (R) is about "awareness"; and time-bound (T) with a clear deadline. Take note of this, before setting any goal.

Also, you can use the mechanics of distributing goals and plans by WPR life areas

• WORK - work, business, professional development;
• PLAY - hobbies, toys, traveling;
• REST - health, family, personal time, relationships.

How to schedule them:

• Take 10 minutes to think about what you need/want in each item;
• write down 1 global goal in each of them first (the most important, complex, central);
• specify the remaining goals with detailed steps (what needs to be done to achieve them?);
• prioritize them (write down the most important ones above);
• record everything in a sign.

For business, teamwork, you can use the OKR system.

• Objectives and Key Results is a team synchronization and motivation tool used to set goals and achieve desired results.
• Objective - what you want to achieve. 2-3 main goals at the company, team or individual level.
• Key results are the metrics you will use to measure progress toward your goal. 3-4 metrics for 1 goal.
• Actions - actions that need to be taken to make the metrics start growing. A specific action plan.

What makes it cool and how does it motivate you?

• You set your own key goals for each quarter and consult with your colleagues;
• When setting OKRs, you choose a goal that will lead to the achievement of the company's overall goal in the most efficient way;
• Offer a metric that the entire team can use to track progress.
