The Case for a “Priority Parking Lot”

Every time you sit down to work, new ideas try to hijack your focus.
"Email Jamie back."
"Fix the website footer."
"Schedule that dentist appointment."

Most people either chase those ideas—or try to force themselves to ignore them (which rarely works).

Here’s a smarter move:
Create a Priority Parking Lot—a simple list where you park ideas that pop up while you’re working.

📋 Jot it down
🔒 Leave it there
⏳ Revisit when your main task is done

This frees your brain from holding on to everything...
and keeps you locked in on what matters right now.
