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

Block out 15 minutes at the very beginning of your day, before diving into emails or urgent requests, to identify your absolute top 1-3 priorities. Write them down clearly. Then, explicitly schedule these tasks into your calendar as if they were important meetings. This ensures that dedicated time is allocated to your most crucial work, preventing it from being squeezed out by the constant influx of demands in a fast-paced environment.
