Leave enough attention for the people you chose before the day became crowded.

Urgency wins by default, and the people who love you are the least urgent thing in your life. They do not send reminders, escalate, or set deadlines, so their share of your attention becomes whatever survives the things that do. Over enough weeks that arrangement quietly reverses the order of what matters, without a single decision ever being made about it.

Give one of them a defended slot this week, the way you would defend a meeting you could not move. It does not have to be long. It has to be attention that was not left over.
