To-do list is so long! I will prioritize by first doing “What will most piss off the client if it isn’t done”. Then move on to “irritate”. – AmazonGrace

I have written about prioritization of your Most Important Tasks (MIT) before; however, I thought this to be an absolutely brilliant way to look at your priority list.

The moral of the story - success is relative, client happiness is an objective one-way street. Even if a project is an extreme failure in your eyes, concentrating on the tasks that the end clients/consumers measures success is [the majority of the time] the correct decision.

In my previous video – Features Do Not Exist (Only Benefits), I went on a bit of a ramble about how a cup got me all wound up. Well, the cup is back but this time with much better wording:

When choosing a foam cup over paper or plastic, we considered the environmental impact of raw materials, manufacturing, shipping and disposal. We believe we have made the most responsible decision but we’re in search of an even better alternative, If you have a viable, alternative option with a smaller environmental foot print, please email your idea to cafecup@samsclub.com. Together, we can create a more sustainable Sam’s Club.

Lesson learned – wording is everything.
