Task creation has many benefits, some of which include:

• The ability to limit distractions and increase focus.
• A chance to upgrade your time management skills.
• A process that helps you focus on your most important work items.

How to prioritize tasks

To first prioritize your tasks, consider:

• Which of your tasks is the most important.
• What times of the day will you have the right amount of energy to complete a task?

Consider the continuous improvement of your tasks

Remember that you can constantly refine what your task requires and how it can be streamlined. Small daily and weekly changes to your tasks can lead to consistent improvements that save you time and money.
