Summary
When everything on your list feels urgent, it’s hard to know what actually deserves your attention first. In this episode, Christy walks you through the simple decision filters she uses to choose what comes first when everything feels important. You’ll hear: Why urgency distorts your sense of priority (and how to step out of the “everything’s on fire” feeling). The difference between keep-the-lights-on tasks, move-the-needle work, and nice-to-haves — and why they shouldn’t all get the same level of you. The three decision filters Christy uses in real time: promises & people, 90-day focus, and capacity & relief. A real-time decision walkthrough so you can hear exactly how she’d move through a crowded list. Why leading your business requires space, not just more discipline or hustle.
