How the ABCDE Technique Improves Time Management

Prioritize with the ABCDE technique

You will learn how to use the ABCDE technique in your daily routine to make more informed decisions and use your time more effectively.

This technique is easy to learn and implement because it is simple. It was developed by Brian Tracy, and it consists of classifying your tasks into five categories: A (very important), B (important), C (good if done), D (delegable) and E (eliminable). Easy, isn’t it?

Its main benefit is that by assigning a priority to each task based on its impact on your objectives and the time frame in which it must be completed, you can focus your energy and attention on the activities that bring you closer to your goals and delegate or eliminate those that don’t contribute significantly to your success.

And since it is conceptually so simple, starting to apply the ABCDE technique is as easy as starting by making a list of all your pending tasks and assigning them a letter according to their importance and urgency. You could even assign colors to each of the letters for quicker visual identification. Then, prioritize your tasks according to these classifications and start working on the highest priority tasks first, and then move on to the lower priority tasks.

If you apply the ABCDE technique you will be able to use your time and effort on those activities that will really offer you the greatest impact on your results, and at the same time, you will minimize the time wasted on less important or irrelevant activities, which is basically the goal of any time management system that leads to success.

Naturally, over time priorities may change, so you should regularly review your task list and adjust the priority levels of tasks as you see fit, keeping in mind that the focus should remain on your most important objectives, but also keeping in mind that tasks that need to be done before a certain date, and that as that date approaches, they should be increased in priority, to avoid that even if they are low impact they are left undone in the end.

Of course, when assigning priorities you should avoid thoughts such as “everything is equally important”. Firstly because it is usually not true in reality, and secondly because if you assign too much importance to too many activities you will only increase your level of stress and non-compliance and therefore this technique will no longer be useful.
