Priority Marks Can Matter More Than Completion Checks
A checkmark is useful, but it is not the same as a decision. Priority marks shape the page before completion checks close the loop.
Do not let easy checks win the layout
A page can look productive because it has many completed small tasks, while the real work stays untouched at the bottom.
Build the page around A1
Mark the real outcome, give the A1 task a time home, check later instead of first, and review what moved.
Let priority decide the shape of the day.
