It shows where work is passed on, delayed, or duplicated, so improvement targets the right spots.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.With a calendar that grows on request, the method makes available time explicit again. It combines appointments, focus work, and buffer into a more realistic day structure.
