Your kid's school play is at 4 PM. The board meeting is at 3:30. You're staring at two calendars that refuse to coexist — and the choice you make will disappoint someone who matters.
What started with the school play conflict just got more complicated. Now you need to make values-based priority decisions when important commitments genuinely conflict — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
