Projects often come with multiple tasks, tight deadlines, and competing priorities. It can feel like everything needs attention at the same time. How do you evaluate, prioritize, and decide which tasks or issues to address first without losing focus or overloading the team?

I step back and look for impact and dependency, not noise. I ask: What will unblock the most work? What creates the biggest risk if delayed?
Prioritizing around constraints and decision points helps restore focus and protects the team from reacting to everything at once.
