The Priority Playoff
A single-elimination tournament bracket for deciding what actually matters. Seed up to eight contenders — goals, projects, commitments, anything competing for the same hours — into the quarterfinals, then run the matchups in pen with one question: if I could only keep one, which survives? Winners advance through handwritten semifinals and a final to a champion box with a winner-gets stakes line. Everything that loses a matchup goes on the losers' strip — Buffett's avoid-at-all-costs list, the things that quietly steal the champion's hours. You don't find your priority; you make it win.
