color:#455A64\">By the rule of thumb, you should always allocate most of your&nbsp;time to priority errands and assignments.&nbsp;<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0cm; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color:#455A64\">And, to get that right and minimize time wasters, you\u2019ll have to&nbsp;put extra effort into defining the time estimates for both your priority tasks&nbsp;and your miscellaneous assignments.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0cm;

color:#455A64\">So, your priorities are your most important and most urgent&nbsp;tasks \u2014 these are tasks that have a precise deadline you need to fulfill, or&nbsp;tasks that are crucial to the goal you want to accomplish for the day.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0cm; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color:#455A64\">For example, you have to write a ~1,000 word Project Proposal&nbsp;for tomorrow \u2014 your ability to estimate the time for this task may influence&nbsp;whether you manage to complete it or not.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0cm;
