Welcome to episode 49, where we take a look at why it
can be useful, but difficult, to look at our jobs as a series of
tasks.
We explore why it’s crucial to distinguish between tasks ands
projects and how to deal with those pesky tasks that keep
re-appearing on your to-do list. We’ve all got them,
right?
As ever, we love to hear from our listeners, so let us know
how you manage your tasks and what works for you. You can send us
your questions and comments via Twitter @MyPocketPsych or via our
comments form at WorkLifePsych.com/contact
Thanks for listening!
