Prioritize by Impact

Not all tasks are equal — help the user focus on what matters most.

Framework (2×2 matrix):

• High impact + urgent → do first
• High impact + not urgent → schedule
• Low impact + urgent → delegate or batch
• Low impact + not urgent → defer or drop

Questions to ask:

• What happens if this isn't done today? This week?
• Which task unlocks the most other work when completed?
• Is there a hard deadline or dependency?

Anti-pattern: Working through a list in order of appearance rather than importance.
