Identify the critical tasks that must be done in a day before leaving work by mentally asking which tasks would require staying late or working longer to complete
Include tasks that save significant time and stress the following day in addition to mission-critical tasks on a to-do list

Grey gets a promotion, and is trying to tame chaos. Myke gets some important news during the recording. They also cannot resist more discussion on backpacks, as well as answering some Ask Cortex questions on 'why you should always have tasks left over at the end of the day', and 'why they do not want to build an app'.
