    The key takeaways are that priorities should be defined based on role expectations and how one's strengths can be applied. Priorities provide clarity on where to focus efforts to make the greatest impact and should be shared and kept up-to-date.

    The main components of defining priorities are knowing yourself through your goals, expectations, aspirations and strengths, then using that information to define specific priorities with targets and reviewers. The priorities tool can be used to document priorities.

    The steps to add a progress note to a priority are to open the priority from the priorities tab, click add progress note, add a note in the text box describing work towards the priority, and click add note to submit it.
