Purposedifferent
When many tasks need to be classified quickly, it sorts them by perceived effort and similarity. It reduces the effort of fine-grained estimation for large volumes.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.With many open commitments and ideas in daily life, a reliable external storage system emerges. The method relieves the mind so priority and context don't have to compete in memory.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
