When many tasks compete for the same capacity, it orders work by economic impact. It makes time lost, benefit, and effort comparable together.With an overloaded day full of too many tasks, a realistic picture of the day emerges. The method connects estimating, deciding, and buffer thinking so planning fits available energy and time.
