Video Description
You can only do one thing at a time. (Yes, even you, multitaskers!) In this video, I break down what a backlog REALLY is and why it's fundamentally different from your typical to-do list. Whether you're in software development, project management, or just trying to get stuff done, understanding backlogs will transform how you approach your work.
What you'll learn: ✓ The fundamental truth about work that changes everything ✓ Why a backlog isn't just another to-do list ✓ How to stop reacting and start delivering strategically ✓ Why the "squeaky wheel" approach is killing your productivity ✓ How to have real conversations about trade-offs
If you're tired of urgent tasks always beating important ones, or feeling like you're never making progress on what actually matters, this video is for you. The key takeaway: Without a visible, prioritized backlog, you're just reacting to whoever talks the loudest. With one, you can finally make meaningful progress on what actually matters.
