OnlyThese · Do not make visibility the measure of importance
When Urgent Tasks Bury Important Work
Urgent tasks naturally demand attention. The problem begins when they repeatedly push important recurring or longer-term work out of your working view.
Do not make visibility the measure of importance
An important task does not have to be visible every minute to remain important. Keep it in your system, while giving today's work a separate, focused place.
The aim is not to manage less. It is to decide what deserves your attention now.
What to do
- Give immediate tasks a limited working view.
- Keep recurring commitments in the system until they are due.
- Allow missed work to return to attention when necessary.
- Avoid deleting important commitments simply because today's work is urgent.
How OnlyThese applies this idea
OnlyThese separates immediate attention from the rest of the task cycle. Its Today, Missed and future sections let you focus on current work while keeping other commitments accessible.
