The tyranny of the urgent

The pattern where immediate demands crowd out important but non-pressing work, leaving you reactive rather than generative and exhausted rather than accomplished. Breaking this requires separating the feeling of urgency (which is about emotional temperature) from actual consequence (which is about what matters), a distinction most systems deliberately blur.
