Stop paying attention

Is a nice way to round of this batch of posts - and for the schedule to round off the week with it.

Do you ask "what is less important" every time some one comes and says "this is urgent"? 

Not the best way to get a rep for being a team player. But certainly a good way to remind people that there is very little slack built into any company or position in 2013.

If something new comes along, it needs to be instead of, not in addition to. At least for a given unit of time.

Thankfully digital tools like Trello makes it easy to show the assorted lists of priorities, and swap things around (with a note saying why).

So how is the week ahead stacked up? 110% load and a backlog until Xmas?
