Purposedifferent
The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.The 5-Minute VC Check clarifies opportunities and strategic options at the earliest idea stage. It compares problem quality, customer willingness to pay, alternatives, differentiation, and market potential, and captures the result as a VC-check note, go/sharpen/park decision, and risk list.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.For easily distracted solo work, the method sets clear time boundaries for concentrated work. It protects attention when large tasks would otherwise fall apart into small avoidance moves.
