Protect time for important-but-not-urgent activities through deliberate scheduling rather than waiting for availability.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Human attentional systems evolved to prioritize signals with (urgent signals dominate), Open-Loop Cognitive Cost (Zeigarnik) (unscheduled commitments consume working memory), and Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable (memory under stress is unreliable). The lesson emphasizes Q2 protection through scheduling. This is prescriptive (schedule deliberately), addresses the structural bias toward urgency, and prevents important work from being displaced.
