Learning Outcomes
Task management is the process of effectively and efficiently tracking, managing, and
executing the life cycle of a task or many tasks within a project, from inception to
execution. The purpose of task management is to improve the decision-making,
communication, efficiency, and effectiveness of a task or project.
Managing tasks is something that most adults do in their daily lives. Take running a
household, for example. Whether you are single or have a family, you have to manage
your time and energy throughout the day to complete tasks like attending household work
such as laundering, cleaning up, buying groceries, cooking and child minding.
Task management is the process of planning and completing your tasks in the most
effective and efficient way. With task management, you oversee the whole lifespan of
your tasks, from conception to completion, so you always achieve your specific goals and
objectives. That involves:
• Making adjustments
Task management is all about avoiding those scenarios. The problem isn’t having too
many tasks or not knowing how to do them. It’s more about not having a strategy and
practice for getting them done efficiently. This is where task management comes in.
Task management is like solving a problem. You evaluate how items relate to one another
and decide on the most efficient way to complete them. When done correctly, people
and teams are strategic and coordinated when dealing with tasks in their workflows and
goals. Involving the focus in task management helps the entire household run more
smoothly and productively.
Task management can also increase engagement by breaking down workflows into
smaller and easily doable chunks, allowing you to organize more efficiently. This avoids
less concentration of multitasking, as well as distraction, procrastination, and
unproductive antics and results in a more engaged and productive worker.
Without task management, it is possible to approach less important jobs with greater
urgency than they deserve, while high-priority work may be set aside and tends to forget.
Sure, an employer may be upset, and this adds to the strain and does not guarantee that
assigned task will be completed on time.
Task management allows you to approach your work in a more systematic and organized
manner, categorizing and prioritizing tasks to better allocate time and effort. Creating
task dependencies allows you to structure tasks more rationally and efficiently. With a
structure in place to establish clear task priorities and due dates, you can ensure that
high-priority jobs receive the attention they require.
3. Task management gives a better overview of your household work and business or
personal life.
Task management facilitates communication and load-sharing among teams. This puts
everyone on the same goals, understanding what is expected of them and their
coworkers. With task management system, the team may help one another more easily.
Workers can exchange and collaborate on task lists, allocate resources, and delegate
task responsibilities and status.
There is no single best way to manage tasks, and there are numerous solutions, each with
its own set of benefits—from the humble sticky note to remind which is urgent and
prioritize to do.
Here are some of the most commonly used methods for managing your tasks:
• To-do lists, whether pen-and-paper checklists or simple online or mobile apps, let
you mark off tasks as you complete them.
• Mind maps, whether physical or digital, can be useful for breaking down projects
and workflows into relevant tasks and their dependencies.
• Kanban boards are another way to visualize your projects and chunk tasks
together with boards and cards—not unlike a digital version of sticky notes on a
noticeboard.
• Gantt charts let you plot the timelines of your tasks and see their dependencies
and deadlines.
Become a master of task management by following these systems and strategies to keep
you and your team on track:
Each task is part of a bigger picture, so it must align with your larger goals and objectives.
Define what you need each task to accomplish, perhaps completing a report or achieving
a team milestone. When your tasks have a clear purpose, it’s much easier to stay focused
and measure success.
Tasks differ from a to-do list because you shouldn’t tackle them randomly. Some tasks
will be high priority, while others are entirely dependent on you completing something
else first. For example, you can’t send an employee newsletter out until you’ve written it.
Organize your tasks in a logical sequence so each step naturally leads into the next. Work
views like Kanban boards or Gantt charts can help you visualize this flow and keep your
tasks in order.
In our opinion, the best way to manage tasks is online task management. A digital
platform like Monday work management offers simple and intuitive task management
within a wider project management framework, so you can:
Large tasks can be overwhelming, but breaking them down into smaller, manageable
steps makes them easier to tackle. This approach also allows you to monitor progress on
each piece, making it easier to spot potential bottlenecks before they affect the larger
project. For example, if you need to write a new employee handbook, you can break it
down into smaller tasks like research, writing chapters, editing, and design.
Automation can ease the pressure If your team’s time is eaten up by completing the same
mundane tasks every day. Platforms like Monday work management enable you to set up
workflows using triggers, conditions, and actions. Example: When a task is marked ‘In
Progress’ (trigger) and hasn’t been updated for five days (condition), the platform
automatically sends a reminder to the task owner (action.) Your follow-ups happen
without any manual intervention, enabling your team to focus on more important work.
To learn how to prioritize tasks, you need to understand the underlying “importance” of
specific tasks compared to other ones — a tricky thing to do since “importance” isn’t very
quantifiable.
Using a prioritization method helps you to quantify tasks based on a scoring system,
which typically uses one or more of the following factors:
• Time
• Urgency
• Dependencies
• Available resources
• Impact

Performance
• Effort
As a result, you get a framework that ranks your tasks based on factors
that are important to achieving your goal. While the degree of data
validation can differ from technique to technique, this is a better
alternative than guesswork.
• To reap the benefits of task prioritization, you need to be able to
choose the best prioritization technique for your needs.
• The following eight prioritization strategies balance different factors to
weigh tasks according to their urgency, importance, difficulty, or
number of people they'll impact.
1. Eisenhower Matrix
The Eisenhower Matrix (also known as the prioritization matrix), designed by
Dwight D. Eisenhower, balances urgency and importance to rank tasks and
clear busy calendars.
Comparing these two factors creates four categories for organizing your
tasks. It then gives general instructions for how to handle the tasks in
each category.

Performance
• DO – Urgent and important: These tasks are of the highest priority,
so you should do them immediately or as soon as possible. Examples
of highest-priority tasks include those with imminent deadlines.
• SCHEDULE – Not urgent, but important: These tasks should be
done after you've completed the urgent and important tasks or
scheduled into the next convenient time slot. Examples of high-priority
tasks include business calls and personal tasks, like health checkups
and exercise.
• DELEGATE – Urgent but not important: These low-priority tasks
should be done last or delegated to other members of your team.
Examples include long-term projects, non-urgent emails, or
administrative tasks.
• ELIMINATE – Not urgent and not important: These tasks aren't
directly related to your projects, are a waste of your time and effort,
and should be removed from your daily list of to-dos.
2. RICE prioritization
To learn how to choose values for each factor, read our guide to RICE
prioritization.
The task with the highest score wins the “top priority” spot in your to-do
list.
3. MoSCoW
The MoSCoW method prioritizes the tasks that are most important and
impactful for your clients and business. It divides tasks into four
categories:
• Must have: These tasks are essential for other larger projects or
stakeholders.
• Should have: These tasks are important but not mandatory. Not
completing one of them won't do any damage to the business, but
it will cause frustration and irritation until it's done.
• Could have: These tasks aren't essential, but they're nice to do
eventually. Not completing one of them has a small impact on your
team, clients, or business.
• Won't have: These are tasks that aren't needed. They don't have
enough value to prioritize, so you can either put them on the back
burner or drop them from your priority list entirely.
The Eat the Frog technique comes from the famous Mark Twain quote,
“If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning.”
• You have complex projects or tasks that intimidate you so much that
you struggle to work on anything at all.
• You have a main project you should be focusing on, but you keep
getting distracted with admin work.
5. ABCDE
With this method, you work on the A and B tasks first, then tackle the C
tasks you enjoy, and only work on the D and E tasks if you have time left
over. Otherwise, you'll delegate or delete these tasks.
• A – Very important: These are the very important tasks that carry a
lot of value for your team or business.
• B – Less important: These are less important tasks that add a small
amount of value to your team but aren't urgent or essential.
• C – Enjoyable: These are tasks you find pleasure in doing and don't
need much motivation to complete.
• D – Delegate: These are low-value tasks that you could delegate to a
colleague if you run out of time before getting to them.
• E – Eliminate: These are tasks that add no value to your team and
aren't essential or useful for your business. They have the lowest
priority.
6. Impact-effort matrix
• QUICK WINS – High impact and low effort: These are tasks that are
worth investing time and energy into because even a small amount of
work is rewarded.
• BIG BETS – High impact and high effort: These tasks are worth
investing effort into carefully planning because they’ll have huge
payoffs once you’ve completed them.
• FILL INS – Low impact and low effort: These tasks are easy to
implement, but they aren’t always worth your time and resources and
might be distracting you from your big picture.
• MONEY PIT – Low impact and high effort: These tasks are a waste
of time and resources as they take huge amounts of work for little to
no payoff.
• The effort metric considers skill level, labor, time, and resources.
• It's a simple method that allows you to get started quickly.

3. Developing
During the developing stage, the data collected during the monitoring stage is analyzed
and used to boost worker’s performance.
The final stage is rating and rewarding. Household worker’s performance needs to be
rated regularly throughout the year and during a performance review or appraisal. This
helps quantify household workers’ performance, determine the value added by each
employee to the organization, and make any changes as needed. Both workers and
employers and family members should give their evaluations for 360-degree
feedback. You can do this through praise and recognition, or a raise in salary,

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are measurable values that demonstrate how
effectively a household, or an organization is achieving its key objectives.
These indicators are crucial for evaluating performance and progress toward specific
goals, providing a quantitative measure of success.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) play a crucial role in household for several reasons:
Performance Measurement
Employers’ Satisfaction
Quality Control
KPIs act as tools for quality control in households. Inspection scores, compliance with
cleaning standards, and re-cleaning request frequency help maintain consistent and
high-quality cleaning standards. Continuous monitoring of these KPIs ensures that
deviations from established norms are promptly addressed.
KPIs are integral to the process of continuous improvement. Regularly reviewing and
analyzing KPI data allows households to identify areas for enhancement and implement
strategies to address shortcomings. This iterative approach fosters a culture of ongoing
improvement in households’ operations.
KPIs provide valuable data for strategic decision-making. Employers can use KPI insights
to allocate resources effectively, set realistic goals, and make informed decisions that
positively impact both operational efficiency and employers or family members
satisfaction.
Recognizing and addressing these challenges are essential for maintaining high
standards and ensuring employer and family members’ satisfaction.
A. Communication
Most disagreements, fights, and arguments are caused by poor communication or lack
of communication. Adults and children all need space to explain their problems in all
fairness. Making assumptions, even in the case of a family, is not the right thing to do.
As I mentioned in the previous point, disagreements, conflicts, and fights are a part of a
family dynamic. We all are entitled to our opinion however, arguments and conflicts can
damage relationships within a family if not resolved in time. Emotions should not get the
better of you during arguments. We may say something hurtful even without meaning to.
Arguments are not a bad thing at all. They are normal but if they get out of hand then they
could be a problem.
One of the biggest stressors in any relationship can be finances. Financial stress can
raise tension and create dissonance in a family relationship. Arguments about money
and money management are common family problems that need to be addressed.
Ensuring consistent and standardized training programs for household workers is crucial
to maintaining a unified approach to cleanliness and service quality.
The following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the realm of cleaning efficiency
provide valuable insights into the productivity and cost-effectiveness of household
workers.
1. Cleaning Efficiency
The most obvious performance indicator for households is cleaning efficiency Here are
two basic KPIs that are used to measure cleaning efficiency.
The first and foremost is the average time, in minutes, it takes for household workers to
clean a single room. This KPI indicates the efficiency of cleaning processes and workers
Employers and Family members satisfaction is paramount, and the household workers
plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall employers’ experience.
The following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to employers’ satisfaction offer
valuable insights into the quality of household services and their impact on employers
and family members perceptions.
3. Inventory Management
The measurement of how efficiently consumable items, such as toiletries and amenities,
are utilized in household tasks, alongside monitoring any wastage.
Efficient usage and minimal waste contribute to cost savings and sustainability. High
wastage may indicate a need for better training or adjustments to ordering quantities.
The rate at which cleaning supplies are used and replenished over a specific period.
This KPI indicates the efficiency of inventory turnover and helps prevent overstocking or
stockouts. A high turnover rate suggests effective usage of cleaning supplies, reducing
storage costs and minimizing the risk of expired products.
Final Words
KPIs serve as invaluable tools, offering a quantitative lens through which to measure,
analyze, and continually improve key aspects of household performance. Some KPIs for
households are shared here but every organization has its own unique context so it can
develop KPIs for its own usage. Setting up KPIs and implementing these is a tedious task
that requires strategic.

indicators in Household operation.

Employers want to make sure that their workers can effectively and efficiently manage
their workloads in order to meet deadlines and produce high-quality work. Employers
may establish whether a candidate's or employee's abilities and experience match the
employer’s expectation and values by inquiring about how they handle task
management.
A candidate's or employee's reaction might also provide important details about their
problem-solving capabilities, flexibility, and communication abilities—all of which are
necessary traits for success in the job.
Prioritization skills refer to the ability to manage tasks and responsibilities in order of
importance or urgency, based on a set of criteria. These skills involve assessing multiple
tasks, understanding their relative importance, and allocating resources effectively to
ensure that critical tasks are completed on time while also ensuring that other tasks are
completed efficiently. Strong prioritization skills require a combination of organizational
and time management skills, critical thinking, and effective communication.
Strong prioritization skills are essential for success in the workplace, especially in fast-
paced and complex environments where competing demands are the norm. Employees
How To Prioritize?
Prioritizing your workload requires distinguishing between urgent and significant jobs.
Urgent jobs demand immediate attention and usually have a limited deadline, whereas
significant tasks are required for long-term goals and objectives to be met. Here's how to
tell which chores are urgent and which are important:
1. Urgent tasks: These are jobs that must be completed immediately and have a short
deadline. Taking employer’s children to school and picking them up afterwards, preparing
food and serving on time.
2. Important tasks: They are those that must be completed in order to achieve long-term
goals and objectives, even if they do not have an immediate deadline. Examples: routine
cleaning of the house, doing laundry
While prioritizing activities, it is critical to prioritize both urgent and significant work.
Urgent activities may need immediate attention, but important tasks should not be
prioritized above urgent duties.
Prioritize the tasks based on the time and resources needed to do them once you have
calculated the work necessary for each one. With this strategy, you can be confident that
you are spending your time and resources wisely and concentrating on things that can be
completed in the allotted amount of time.
Individuals may successfully manage their workload and decrease stress by breaking
major projects down into smaller, more manageable chunks by organizing jobs according
to projected effort.
It also calls for a readiness to rearrange priorities as necessary, even if it means delaying
or putting off less important duties. Being adaptive and flexible also implies being open
to new ways of doing things and being prepared to change how one approaches activities
as necessary.
Effective prioritizing requires knowing when to reduce tasks. The temptation to try to take
on too much work or to hang onto jobs that are no longer vital or relevant might be strong.
Individuals must be willing to periodically evaluate the worth and impact of each work if
they hope to know when to cut them.
This entails routinely examining the task list and priorities to spot jobs that are no longer
required, applicable, or manageable within the allotted time. It also entails being
prepared to delegate work or seek assistance when needed rather than attempting to do
everything on your own.
By eliminating jobs that are no longer necessary or viable, people may better concentrate
on the things that matter and accomplish their goals and objectives. By making time and
resources available for activities that are of higher priority, it can help lower stress and
avoid burning out.

Learning Outcomes
First, review the requirements for your evaluation. These may vary, depending
on whether it's for an annual review or a promotion. Determine the length of
time that's necessary for evaluating your performance. If the evaluation
includes the last year, review your important projects or assignments from
the previous year to determine your achievements and areas of improvement
more easily.
Consider your positive qualities or the personal characteristics you have that
help you perform well in your role. In your evaluation, emphasize how you
use your unique skill set to handle your responsibilities effectively and
mention your primary strengths. For example, you might discuss your
conscientiousness and your interpersonal skills and provide a few examples
of how you used those qualities to increase rapport with employers.
If you've made a mistake, mention your willingness to learn from it and your
interest in improving within your role. Explain what you've learned in your
current role and your willingness to continue learning. For example, if you
hope to earn a promotion, you might discuss your desire to acquire new skills
that might benefit you in that position. This can help demonstrate your
willingness to take the initiative and show your employer that you're serious
about progressing in your career.
Try to incorporate some helpful feedback into your self-evaluation to help your
employer improve processes or address issues that are preventing you from
performing to the best of your ability. You might also offer feedback about the
employer’s family in general. For example, if you work in a sales role, you
might discuss your interest in a training program to improve
your communication skills and help you practice speaking with different
types of customers.
Key responsibility areas or KRA, define the expectations of the employer from a specific
job role. It clarifies to the workers what is expected of their role at the house. Without
KRAs, an employee may feel lost or demotivated to perform.
Key responsibility areas also play an important role in increased employee satisfaction
and are used as an outline based on which an employee’s performance review can be
done. It is usually well-defined and easy to measure for the employer. This helps the
employee perform better by providing a ready reckoner about what is expected by the
employer.
Is it possible to employ people in the team and expect them to work towards the set goals
without clarity on the job role?
No. It would be a nightmare. People would usually fall short of meeting expectations, as
they would not know what was expected of them. Working without clarity on the job
requirements and employer expectations would not take any employee or the
organization very far.
The job outline or the expectation from the employer helps start an employee’s journey
with the correct mindset and clear expectations from the employer.
KRA plays a critical role in performance management as employees can work in a set
framework. These are increasingly becoming a basic requirement in today’s workplace.
Employees expect the employer to share clear KRAs, as it sets outlines for their
performance at the organization.
• Motivate employees:
KRAs are important for providing the right motivation to workers in the workplace. Without
KRAs, an employee feels lost and quickly loses motivation to achieve company goals. It
What is the difference between key responsibility areas (KRA) and key performance
indicators (KPI)?
Key responsibility areas (KRA) and key performance indicators (KPI) are two distinct
measurable units that are helpful in their own ways for driving the growth of an
organization. However, these are uniquely different from each other. KRA is an outline of
the job role, which is helpful for the employee to understand the employer’s
expectations. On the other hand, KPI is the employee’s actual performance, usually
measured as a numerical score and tied to the organization’s overall vision.
KRAs are usually shared before the start of the job at the organization. KPIs are measured
after a specific period to assess the employee’s performance.
Key responsibility areas are always set at an employee level, whereas KPIs are set at an
organization level, departmental level, and then at the employee level. For instance,
revenue targets, profit targets, sales targets, etc., are all part of KPIs.
Tip 1: Clearly define the performance issues: Start by identifying the specific
areas where the employee is falling short and clearly outline the expected
standards. This will help the employee understand what needs improvement
and how they can achieve it.
Tip 2: Set achievable goals: Break down the overall improvement target into
smaller, achievable goals. This will help the employees stay motivated and
track their progress effectively.
Tip 3: Provide support and resources: Offer the necessary resources, such as
training, mentoring, or tools, to help the employee enhance their skills and
overcome any obstacles.
Tip 4: Establish a timeline: Set a realistic timeline for the improvement plan,
including milestones and deadlines for achieving the goals. Regular check-ins
and progress reviews should be scheduled to monitor the employee's
development.
Goals are an essential part of life. Whether you're setting goals for yourself,
your job, or your family, it's important to have a clear idea of what you want
to achieve and how you plan on getting there. Unfortunately, this isn't always
easy. There are plenty of challenges that can derail your progress and keep
you from achieving your goals.

Performance
Fortunately, there are strategies you can use to overcome these obstacles.
Here are a few strategies for overcoming challenges that may derail goal
achievement:
1. Set Clear Goals: One of the best ways to overcome challenges is to set clear
goals. Take some time to really think through what it is that you want to
accomplish and why it is important to you. Write down your goals and create
a timeline for when you want to achieve them. When you have a clear idea of
what you're working towards, it will be much easier to stay motivated and
stay on track.
2. Break Down Your Goals: Once you have your goals set, break them down
into smaller, more manageable pieces. This will help you focus on each step
without having to feel overwhelmed by the entire project or goal as a whole.
This will also help you stay organized and reduce the potential for
distractions.
3. Develop an Action Plan: After breaking down your goals into smaller pieces,
develop an action plan for achieving each one. This should include specific
tasks that need to be completed and a timeline of when they should be

in under 45 minutes".

progress. For example, you could set a goal to increase online sales by a certain
percentage.

set a goal to learn basic Spanish conversation in three months instead of trying to
become fluent in two months.

you will have a busy next day working? If yes, you are surely going to miss the work
deadline which can affect your credibility and mount work pressure on you. If you are
serious about how to improve self-management skills in the workplace, then we have a

2. Alignment of Goals
Make sure you schedule breaks as well. Do not rush to finish the job if you believe you
cannot accomplish too much in a day. This will enable you to work effectively without
having any second thoughts. Additionally, this will assist you in honing skills to manage
yourself in the workplace.
A great part of managing yourself at work is knowing your strengths and weaknesses. In
the long run, it will be beneficial for you to be aware of your strengths and create space
for them to grow. Additionally, it will make it clear which chores will be simple to perform
and which won’t. You’ll have more time to work on the ones you believe are tough if you
concentrate on finishing the ones that are simpler for you.
From the executive table to contributors, managing oneself at work involves appropriate
participation in the work varies. When it comes to aligning the work, you need to consider
the strategy to execution, which comprises from “why” through “what” to “how.” Maintain
your attention on the relevant area for your role. For instance, as a product manager, one
of your responsibilities is to convert the “why” to “what” of specific projects. Finding out
how to complete those tasks is not your responsibility.
