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.
