Prioritisation

   A child is given a set of tasks—tidy up toys, finish homework, and get ready for bed. They choose to complete their homework first, knowing it takes more time, before moving on to the quicker tasks.  

    While juggling homework, CCA, and revision for an upcoming test, the student creates a simple to-do list and schedules time to study the most urgent subjects first, showing awareness of deadlines and task importance. 

   Facing competing work deadlines, an adult evaluates which tasks are most time-sensitive and aligns their schedule to focus on high-impact activities. They delegate or postpone less urgent items to manage their workload effectively.
