"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." - Stephen Covey

Block out 15 minutes at the beginning of your day for "deep work" on your most critical task. During this time, turn off all notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and focus solely on making significant progress on that one important item. This proactive approach ensures that your most crucial work gets done before the inevitable chaos of incoming requests and urgent issues takes over.
