Not all dropped balls are created equal

If you've ever felt like every task on your list is equally urgent/important, this episode is for you. Alexis walks through the difference between glass balls (the tasks that shatter with real consequences if dropped) and rubber balls (the ones that bounce right back to you without harm). She makes the case that you'll always have too much to do, which means dropping some balls is inevitable. The question isn't whether you'll drop them. It's which ones. You'll hear concrete examples of glass tasks, rubber tasks, and the sneaky middle category of tasks that vitrify, turning from rubber to glass when you drop them too many times. By the end, you'll have a simple sorting question to ask yourself the next time your to-do list feels impossible.
