“Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.”
— John C. Maxwell
With the new year already well underway, and resolutions top of mind, many professionals and businesses may be wondering how they can be better organized and work more efficiently in 2018. Workloads are increasing year after year, so professionals in all types of business will need to find new tools and techniques to make the most out of their time and help them work smarter, not harder.
It’s for that reason that we believe prioritization is an essential part of planning your work and life, and we’ve made a new tool to help you do it!
With MindManager 2018, we’ve made it even easier to prioritize your brainstorm results, project plans, to do lists, strategies and everything else you’re diagramming, so that you can be as efficient as possible at work and in your personal life.
Watch the video below to learn how you can use MindManager 2018 to help prioritize your life this year.
Easily Visualize Your Priorities
With the new Priority View in MindManager 2018 for Windows, you can take any diagram (like this SWOT example)…
… and break the information down based on their priority levels.
The new Priority View first lists all the unprioritized topics in an ‘uncategorized’ column on the left-hand side of the view.
Then, all you need to do is drag and drop your topics to the appropriate priority level.
When you exit the priority view, you’ll now see all of your topics and their corresponding priority labels in your original diagram.
This allows you to not only categorize information based on topic, but also easily see what tasks are the most pressing, and what can be left for a later date.
