Key prioritization strategies include:<ref>[https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/prioritization-strategies 11 Prioritization Strategies To Help You Arrange Your Tasks], Indeed</ref>
'''1.''' Use a priority matrix
'''2.''' Number your priorities
'''3.''' Make a prioritized task list each day
'''4.''' Prioritize the most important tasks
'''5.''' Pick a single focus when appropriate (Block out necessary hours/day/week to do something so you can focus better)
'''6.''' Pick a single focus (Related to daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals)
'''7.''' Use the Ivy Lee method of focusing on your six most important tasks
'''8.''' Use the ABCDE method (Levels of priority with A being the highest)
'''9.''' For larger long term goals, use the two list strategy. Come up with a list of the 25 most important long-term goals and then focus on the top 5 and avoid the other 20.
'''10.''' Change priorities if necessary to gain flexibility for the unexepected. Avoid the sunk cost fallacy.
'''11.''' Prioritize your important work during your most productive hours
