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

Dedicate the first 15 minutes of your workday to identifying and blocking out time for your single most important task. This "Most Important Task" (MIT) should be the one activity that, if completed today, would make the biggest impact or move you closest to a critical goal. By proactively scheduling this focused work before diving into emails or unscheduled fire drills, you ensure that your most valuable efforts are protected and executed, even amidst the daily chaos.
