The Consequences Test for Priorities
Prioritisation breaks down when every task feels urgent. Tracy's fix is to run each item through the consequences test rather than the urgency test.
Urgency is about volume, the loudest task wins. Consequence is about value, the task whose outcome matters most, done or undone.
Train yourself to ask 'what are the consequences?' before you start, and your A-1 will separate itself from the noise.
