Time Flies - Become the Pilot!
summary
Interactive prioritization uses the Eisenhower matrix to sort tasks by urgency and importance, a quick gamified exercise assigns point values so teams choose high-yield, low-effort first and reveal comfort-zone bias, and execution uses the 25-minute Pomodoro (25 min focus, 5 min break, four cycles then a long break). Backing claims: a time-diary of 1,001 days shows time is elastic (example: a broken water heater forced someone to free up 7 hours), and apps like Forest or simple timers are recommended to enforce focus.
