speaking of priorities, do you have any tips/tools/tricks for determinging priority for a list of things?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,

“Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit.
Make it work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as
they might be. Don't merely dream -- but create!”

The world’s first time traveler was just a boy who created a machine. The moment before he first switched it on, he appeared to himself as an old man.
“Don’t,” the old man said.
The boy hesitated, but he remembered how angry he was at every adult who ever tried to hold him back.
“Fuck you, old man,” he said, smiled, and hit the switch.
In an instant, he was old, standing before his younger self.
“Don’t,” he said.
