    another thing, don’t append everything with “It’s very urgent we need it fixed now” because you’ll get put in the not listen to list

      There are probably less than 5 emails in our internal helpdesk queue this month that WEREN’T marked as urgent.

      Urgent problems this month include: ‘The glare from my kitchen window washes out my laptop screen’, ‘How do I change the color of my folders icon?’ and ‘Client reports hearing faint mumbling from their org’s landing page’

      I handled the last one personally, she had a forgotten tab with a looping podcast playing on very low for the last few days.

      When EVERYTHING is urgent, NOTHING is urgent.

        I love that phrase. Because it lets me decide what’s needful. Sometimes it’s my lunch or catching up on the news.
