Mastering task prioritization is a game-changer for solopreneurs. 

Overwhelmed by endless to-dos? Here’s a two-pronged strategy that combines the “Eisenhower Matrix” and the “80/20 Rule”.

Start by listing all tasks. This is your brain dump, your full to-do list.

Next, apply the Eisenhower Matrix. It splits tasks into four categories: Urgent/Important, Not Urgent/Important, Urgent/Not Important, and Not Urgent/Not Important.

Urgent/Important tasks are your top priority. Tackle these first. Not Urgent/Important tasks are your long-term goals. Regularly schedule time for these. Can Urgent/Not Important tasks wait or be delegated? Decide. Not Urgent/Not Important tasks? Minimize these.

Then, apply the 80/20 Rule, or Pareto Principle. It states that 80% of outcomes come from 20% of efforts. Identify the tasks that yield the most results. Focus more energy here.

These strategies help do more of what matters. As a solopreneur, your time equals your success. Prioritize wisely.
