PRIORITIZING
Prioritizing:
Why You’re
(Likely) Doing
It Wrong
BY: DAVE CRENSHAW, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, AND BUSINESS COACH
O
NLY three hours a day.
According to one study, that’s how
much time is actually productive in
a person’s average forty-five hour
workweek. This essentially means
that only 33 percent of your long, challenging
workweek is actually spent doing the things that
fulfill your role and bring more value to your
company and yourself.
Maybe that’s why over one quarter of Americans
work nights, and almost one third work
weekends, to make up for lost time during a
seemingly chaotic workweek. Or maybe that’s
why most of us simply feel overwhelmed with
work, and we find ourselves saying, “There aren’t
enough hours in the day.”
SO WHAT MAKES EACH DAY CHAOTIC AND
UNPRODUCTIVE?
IMPROPER PRIORITIZATION.
