This document discusses prioritizing tasks for a startup based on their impact and complexity. It recommends focusing on tasks that are high impact and easy to medium complexity, while avoiding low impact tasks that are hard or medium complexity. An effective prioritization balances delivering value to users and progress on key metrics, while learning quickly and avoiding low-value work. Check-ins should evaluate progress on goals and the primary key performance indicator, the biggest obstacles, tasks completed, and key learnings.
