Purposedifferent
The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.When a user journey falls apart across many touchpoints, customer journey mapping makes the experience visible as a coherent arc. Phases, emotions, and breaks become legible enough to prioritize critical moments deliberately.
