Not everything deserving attention can receive yours at the same time.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

There are more things worth your attention than you have attention for, and that will remain true however well you organise. The question is not whether something deserves your time, since many things do, but whether it deserves it now, ahead of everything else asking. Deserving is not the same as being next.

When something worthy appears, ask whether it is more important than what it would displace. Often the honest answer is later rather than never. Sequencing solves more of this than effort does.
