Priorities Before the Inbox
Table of Contents
Priorities before the inbox = put the real priority first before email, Slack, and everyone else's urgency rewrite my morning.
The inbox is other people's priorities wearing a siren. One block on the actual deliverable - spec, hard conversation, deep work - before I answer pings. Gospel source: Seek the Kingdom First. PKM parallel: Signal vs Noise.
Example
Tuesday at 7am my Slack was on fire and the quarterly doc was still blank. Priorities before the inbox means forty minutes on the doc first - then I answer pings from a place that already moved the needle.
