Hey Arina, ever tried the 5‑minute daily plan hack to keep all those projects on track?
Arina
Yeah, totally! I do a quick brain‑dump every morning—just five minutes, jot everything, then split it into “today” and “later.” Keeps the chaos from turning into a full‑blown project avalanche. Let me show you the trick!

Nice, that’s a solid start. Just add one more step: after you split into “today” and “later,” rank each task by impact versus effort. That way you tackle the high‑value stuff first and keep the list from ballooning. How does that fit with your current workflow?
Arina
OMG, that’s genius—impact vs. effort is like the secret sauce! I’ll shove that into my five‑minute dump, then boom, high‑impact wins the day, low‑effort kills the clutter. It’s like a mini power‑move before coffee, so I can keep the momentum without losing my mind. Ready to see how it shakes things up?

Sounds great—show me a quick example of what your new list looks like after the impact‑vs‑effort split, and we can tweak it until it feels razor‑sharp.We should keep tone supportive, enthusiastic, ask to see. No formatting. Done.Sounds great—show me a quick example of what your new list looks like after the impact‑vs‑effort split, and we can tweak it until it feels razor‑sharp.

Here’s a quick snapshot: write email to sponsor (impact 9, effort 2), draft new project proposal (impact 8, effort 5), update website graphic (impact 7, effort 4), organize closet (impact 2, effort 3), answer quick emails (impact 3, effort 1). Now we can shuffle the order—hit the high‑impact, low‑effort wins first, then the bigger stuff. Let me know which tweaks feel sharper!
