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

Dedicate the first 15-30 minutes of your workday to a single, high-impact, urgent task without any distractions. This could be responding to critical emails that have piled up overnight, outlining a key project that needs immediate attention, or making a crucial phone call. By tackling your most important task first, you gain momentum, reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed, and set a productive tone for the rest of your demanding day.
