How do I prioritize tasks? I would prioritize tasks probably starting with what needs to be done that day or maybe what could wait until tomorrow. If something changes right away obviously you have to regroup, maybe delegate a task to someone else so you can get the job done quicker. An example of prioritizing would be, say, okay we have a liquor order that's due today so you have to go take inventory and get the order in before four o'clock. So I would get that done right away so we can get the order in and not have to worry about it so we can move on to something else that we need to get done.
