How To Know What To Prioritize At Work

If I could boil down everything I have learned about productivity into one simple message, it would be this one: Do What Matters Most. Start your day with your most important task. Focus on your ONE thing.

But if you start your day unfocused, you are a lot less likely to get your important tasks done at all. Sounds simple, right?
