But, if you work in a multi-departmental team with non-overlapping / conflicting priorities, *your* priority 1 task may need to wait for someone else's priority 2 task to become a priority 1.<br />So, while you wait to get back to your priority 1, you spend time on your 2s & 3s.Ken Whitesellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892830500551430345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684183198890094283.post-53248187448607944752009-10-13T03:49:45.466-04:002009-10-13T03:49:45.466-04:00I'd agree with her: it's easier to keep pr...I'd agree with her: it's easier to keep priorities simple (unidimensonal).
