We dig into the paradox of moving fast while thinking deep and show how impact—not urgency—should dictate your depth. Tune, Lock, and Cut form a practical toolkit to manage energy, focus on what matters, and remove friction so you deliver great work under pressure.
• naming internal, external and systemic pressure sources
• reframing speed and depth as modes you shift with intent
• using an impact–urgency–alignment matrix to set depth
• avoiding depth debt on high-impact, low-urgency work
• adopting Tune to manage energy and agency
• adopting Lock to externalize chaos and commit
• adopting Cut to declutter systems and handoffs
• turning “not now” into strategic stewardship
• concrete first steps to apply one framework this week
Start small. Look at your current project or workload this week. What’s your biggest pressure point right now? Identify that main friction point. Then see which framework tune, lock, or cut seems like the most direct answer to that specific problem. Try implementing just that one framework systematically. And see what happens.
