what you leave

How it plays

1Work arrives. More of it than you can take.
2Pick what to handle this round. Everything you leave stays and ages.
3What each item cost is revealed after you choose, never before.
4Some things get worse waiting. Some get cheaper. A few sort themselves out.

Why it works: prioritisation is normally taught as a matrix, and a matrix implies the right answer was knowable when you chose. It was not. Here you see a description and how long it has waited — which is all anyone gets in the real version — and the scoreboard is what your choices cost against the best that was available. The item that hurts most is usually the quiet one nobody argued about.
