Claim: half of work time is wasted and prioritization follows inertia, decibels, and guilt. Practical tools: a time log, a ritual every two weeks (half day) to empty all my inboxes, reflect, then choose half dozen to a dozen items to do next. A simple Google Doc checklist asks concrete questions — what to delegate, what truly must get done, who notices if it stays undone, and what one change would alter outcomes over years.
