Watch first
What this is
Caregivers carry an impossible mental load — meds, meals, appointments, errands — and treat everything as equally urgent. This tool uses triage thinking (Covey's urgent/important matrix) to sort your care tasks into clear tiers, surface only the true "musts" for today, and give you explicit permission to release the rest. The visual clutter literally lifts off your screen as you sort.
