4D Method

The method is designed to help people who, at the sight of their list of tasks, are horrified and do not know how to approach all the accumulated items. You need to remember only four words with the letter D, and then you will not give up in front of mountains of cases. Here they are: Do - if you are assigned a task, it is best to complete it now and immediately cross it off the list. Delegate - when you cannot or do not have time to do something, but you have a relatively free assistant, transfer the task to him. Delete - some things are not so important. Discard them by permanently removing them from the list of tasks. If they try to impose extra responsibilities on you, learn to say “no” politely. Delay (postpone) - when the task is too voluminous or does not require immediate execution, it can be postponed. But you must definitely set clear deadlines for it. Pick a task, perform one 4D action on it, and then move on to the next.
