THEN move on to the next one. Hey, maybe they could even prioritize the problems and do that thing we learned in time management class, where you pick the important and easy tasks first, then the important, but more difficult ones, then last the important and incredibly difficult ones. And in the meantime they could knock out a few of the medium level easy and moderate tasks, and maybe just completely ignore the unimportant and more difficult ones. Hmmm, makes me wonder, did politicians ever get sent to time management class? | Task | Important | Medium | Unimportant | | Easy | | | | | Moderate | | | | | Difficult | | | |
