|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | When assumptions still sit unordered in the room, it weighs uncertainty against leverage. It makes visible which hypotheses should be checked first. | With a restless workday full of too many open items, the method creates radical simplicity. It directs attention to a short sequence instead of a broad, still-open field. |
