Allocate attention based on comparative advantage — keep tasks where your relative advantage over alternatives is highest compared to other tasks competing for the same hours, not simply tasks where you have absolute advantage.

Applies cognitive capacity limits (Working Memory Capacity Limit, Directed Attention as Depletable Resource, Information and attention have an inverse relationship) through the economic lens of comparative advantage. Prescribes HOW to evaluate tasks against each other rather than in isolation.
