• The things with no deadline
• Another week just vanished and the few things I actually meant to do never happened
• I dive into Monday with no sense of what the week is actually for, so I end up chasing whatever shouts loudest each day and the two or three things that would make the week a real success never get a protected slot.
• Every week starts with me reacting to whatever hits the inbox first, so by Friday I’ve been slammed nonstop yet the few things that actually mattered never got touched
