Priority Tax Calculator - Productivity Pit Stop

Priority Tax Calculator

Discover what priority inflation is really costing you every week

When everything is a priority, nothing moves fast enough to matter.

Priority inflation creates three types of waste:

Time spent on low-leverage work that doesn't finish
Mental overhead from constantly re-evaluating what matters
Delayed impact because every priority crawls forward instead of one finishing fast

This calculator measures the hidden cost of unclear prioritisation — specifically, how much longer your important work takes when you're juggling too many things at once.

1. Do you use a prioritisation method?

Yes — I use a clear system (1-3-5, Eisenhower, MoSCoW, etc.) Sort of — I have a list but no formal method No — I keep everything in my head or on ad-hoc lists

2. Right now, how many active projects/priorities are you carrying?

3. How often do you finish what you planned for the week?

Usually — Most things get done Sometimes — About half get done Rarely — Most things roll over

4. How do you decide what to do next?

I have a clear system or framework I go by what feels most urgent I just pick what feels right in the moment
