Quick Wins (High Impact, Low Effort)

Quick wins Add to My Personal Learning Plan are the most attractive projects, because they give you a good return for relatively little effort. Focus on these as much as you can.

Major Projects (High Impact, High Effort)

Major projects give good returns, but they are time-consuming. This means that one major project can "crowd out" many quick wins.

Fill Ins (Low Impact, Low Effort)

Don't worry too much about doing these activities ? if you have spare time, do them, but drop them or delegate Add to My Personal Learning Plan them if something better comes along.

Thankless Tasks (Low Impact, High Effort)

Try to avoid these activities. Not only do they give little return, they also soak up time that you should be using on quick wins.
