Ever feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? The ABCD Priority System, integrated into our Focus Task Organizer, transforms complex task lists into clear, actionable plans. Let's explore how this powerful method can revolutionize your daily planning on reMarkable.
Understanding the ABCD System
Your tasks aren't created equal. Our priority system helps you identify what truly drives results:
A-Level Tasks: Must Do
- Direct impact on your goals
- Time-sensitive deadlines
- High-value outcomes
- Maximum 3 per day
Pro Tip
Start each day by identifying your A-tasks first. These should align directly with your weekly goals in the Week Goal Organizer.
B-Level Tasks: Should Do
- Important but not urgent
- Support A-level tasks
- Medium-term impact
- Maximum 4 per day
C-Level Tasks: Nice to Do
- Routine activities
- Administrative work
- Low-impact tasks
- Support functions
D-Level Tasks: Delegate/Delete
- Time-wasters
- Low-value activities
- Tasks to automate
- Items to eliminate
Power of Prioritization
Studies show that focusing on A-level tasks can increase productivity by 80%, while becoming clear about D-level tasks can free up to 15 hours per week.
