• From DIPS Intellectual Productivity System. Not so good naming, but a way of thinking about prioritizing tasks. What determines the order of priority? From the top to the bottom.
  • Copy that.
    • I don’t care how you change it, as long as the other party agrees.
    • If you can’t get it, you can’t change it, and if you break this, you lose credibility.
  • saving
    • If doing something by a certain deadline saves time overall, the priority of that task is temporarily increased
    • This is also the way to reduce overhead by bundling tasks
  • time
    • Deadlines already given, meeting schedules, etc.
  • embedded (e.g. software)
    • After schedule times are finalized, there can be gaps in between.
    • Put tasks that can be done in a pre-stocked half-hour at the half-hour.
    • In other words, we can say that “the priority of half tasks has temporarily increased”.
  • value
    • Selecting Tasks by Certainty of Value
    • If you’re not sure which to execute first, choose the one with the clearest value.
      • nishio.iconI don’t think so. This has the feel of someone “doing a given job.”

It is impossible to say that they are listed alphabetically as Ryokai, Setsuyaku, Time, Umekomi, and Value.
