“Is this worth solving now?”

The deceptively simple filter that protects priorities and keeps teams focused on what matters.

Not all problems are urgent. Not all problems are meaningful.

This one question keeps teams from chasing noise, patching symptoms, or fixing things that don’t actually matter.

It protects energy. It sharpens focus.

Instead of defaulting to action —triage, prioritise and then choose wisely.

Ask:

– What’s the cost of doing nothing?

– What’s the upside if we solve it now?

– Is this a distraction from something bigger?

We don't have to solve every problem we see. We can choose to solve what matters most—at the right time.

Focus always beats frenzy.
