Cut The Clutter

This morning at work, I was sifting through a never-ending list of priorities my colleagues were juggling with. Buried in the chaos were two tasks that truly mattered— that needed full attention but were lost in the noise.

As my team struggled to decide what to tackle first, I stepped in to cut through the clutter. Instead of asking how many tasks we could squeeze into the day, I asked: Which of these priorities can we drop to focus on the two priorities that truly matter?

And just like that, in a matter of 30 minutes, the noise faded. The path forward was clear.
