## The problem

The longer it waits, the bigger it feels. You do everything else instead.

## How Plexii handles it

One thing now shows the single most pressing open desk. Press Start for five focused minutes; at zero, choose Done for now or keep going for 5, 15 or 25 minutes.

In short: Plexii picks the single most pressing thing and asks for five minutes. At zero, stop or keep going: your choice.
