It helps weigh expansion, diversification, and adaptation cleanly against each other.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.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.
