A compass for the weeks where everything looks important

A decision tool for deciding what to work on when the obvious priorities have all been handled and the next layer of work needs a clearer signal.

What this is

A four-direction compass built around impact, energy, urgency, and alignment as the four orienting questions
Built for people who already manage their time well and need a sharper tool for high-stakes prioritisation calls
Helps you choose between options that all look reasonable on the surface but produce very different results
Designed for use at the start of a week, a project, or any decision point where the wrong choice costs you a lot
Pairs with any existing planning system rather than replacing it

1 Download the compass and pick a current decision where you have multiple reasonable options
2 Score each option against the four directions of the compass, using the prompts on the worksheet
3 Look at where the scores diverge and where they cluster
4 Make the decision based on the compass output, even if it conflicts with your initial instinct
5 After two weeks, review whether the compass-based decision produced the outcome you wanted
