Prioritization: Three Priorities, Not Nine, 260+ Tools

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

A list of priorities with nine items on it is not a list of priorities. It is a list, and the sequencing will be decided later by whoever shouts loudest. Here are 266 tools to choose and finish fewer things: 165 ready-to-use procedures, question lists, checklists and templates, 60 models and methods, 40 services shown on screen and a decision readiness check.

Open a lecture, take the procedure, and cut your priority list to three.

Why everything stays urgent

Goals are added and never removed, every request looks important, decisions wait for more data, and the manager does the work instead of delegating it. The week fills up, and the real priorities move to next quarter again.

What changes after this course

You set a few goals with OKR and measure them with indicators that work. Decisions are made on evidence and on time, your week is planned around the priorities, and delegation frees your time and grows your people.

What is inside: 266 tools, counted lecture by lecture

You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

People should work in the zone of their talents. Take Excel: I get on with it very well and solve my tasks in it quickly, while for some people the same tool is torture, they hate it, spend hours and make mistakes, though they have talents elsewhere. Delegating well starts with knowing who will do a task easily and who will suffer.
