Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

Parkinson’s Law

Here are four questions you can ask yourself every day to keep yourself on your most important tasks:

1. What are my highest value activities? What are the things that I do that contribute the greatest amount of value to my work?

2. What are my key result areas? What are the specific results that I have been hired to accomplish?

3. Why am I on the payroll? Why do they pay me money at my job? What specifically have I been asked to do?

4. What can I, and only I, do that, if done well, will make a real difference? If I don't do it, it won't get done. But if I do it, and I do it well, it will make a significant contribution to my work and my life. What is it?
