Prioritization is stressful. We find ourselves prematurely making value decisions about what to pull and when (right now!).

Recently a client asked, “How can I prioritize my work when there is no clear priority? Everything seems equally important.”

This is a deeper issue than simply being indifferent to priorities. We are constantly worried (as in stressed) about what the next-best thing is for us to do. If we make the wrong choice, what might the consequences be?

Extreme stress might result when we simply don’t know what is most important. At that point, we must start asking other questions about the work. Is it difficult? Is it going to make me happy? Does it involve other people?

This video digs into those issues. Later, because choice is not a simple topic, we’ll go into other ways to select work. Also, look at the links below this video for more Personal Kanban options.)
