Ranking Priorities

Dear Roommate,

Hey. I decided to write you a letter about what I learned in CLS 105 because it helped me so much in school work and I hope you would use this strategy! I have learned a strategy call 'ranking priorities', which is one of the best problem solving strategies I have done so far. You need to create a list of everything that needs to be accomplished and rank in three types: A= absolutely essential, B= important and C= optional. Then you group by a letter and a number in a order that you need to finish first. You start from A-1 task and move on to remaining letters in numerical order. So I used this technique for my illustration class. I had my caricature assignment due on last Thursday and I was able to finish it by following the steps I explained above. First, I wrote a list that I need to do for this assignment: idea sketching, analyzing characters in different views, color and choosing background, and final piece. I wrote these in group A, because it was the most essential project that had to be done for the week and I wrote numbers in a order that I listed above. For group B, I wrote down my homework for computer arts which was finalizing our work that we have been working on for last two weeks. I was almost done with it, so I just put in under group B. Lastly, under group C, I put chores! I need to get my laundry done and both of us need to clean the apartment by end of the week including washing dishes. Following this steps helped me a lot with school work and I truly recommend you should try use it for your schedule once. Make sure you do the most important tasks first, know that you can rank your priorities if you pretend you only have half the time to accomplish all your work and use due dates as a factor for determining priorities. Thanks!
