Two honest questions.
One usable answer.

A note from the builder
“A planner should help you make decisions—not give you another endless list to manage.”

Built for week three
Most planners die by day 15.
Prime Priorities is built for that moment—aging indicators show you what keeps getting carried, and the ritual is short enough to survive a bad week. The goal is not a perfect list. It is ending the day feeling done enough.
Not a project-management suite. Prime Priorities is a personal daily decision tool, not a shared team workspace or a place to manage complex projects.
