Weight

Tasks that weigh heavy on your mind may fall at the top of your list of prioritizing your work. When you prioritize your work, keep in mind that some things may need to be done first, just to get them off of your mind. If you have a task that is weighing heavy on your mind, you may not be able to accomplish much until you complete it. When you prioritize, be sure to put these tasks near the top of your list. By getting them out of the way, you will be able to get everything else done with the least amount of stress.

Length

Another way to prioritize your work is by length. This is great for students or workers who must do writing projects. You can also group items by the amount of time they will take, which is basically the same. If a task will take a long time, then you probably want to work on it for more than one day. Therefore, put it near the top of the middle of your list each day so that you will have time to work on it each day. If you must get a long project done in one day, consider doing it first. This way you can use your morning energy to get you through the task. If you save it for the end of the day, you will likely be tired and stressed with the task.
