I stopped deciding what to work on and built a system that ranks my entire life by expected return per hour.
A cool byproduct of having a brain with full context across my work life: it can intelligently prioritize for me. All I do is throw any and every task in, and the output is a trusted ranking of priorities based off of value per hour.
Every task gets enriched first. An agent creates a one-pager briefing pulling from the 3000 entity notes (goals, deals, calendar, people, past decisions) and the web. Then the tournament runs: Swiss rounds, pairwise matchups.
The tournament prompt: "Which task produces higher expected return per hour of execution time? Maximize total value over time. Value compounds: a system that saves 10 hours every week is worth more than a one-time task of equal difficulty. Work and personal tasks compete on the same axis."
Over time each task gets its own ELO. If context changes, then ratings shift. A board meeting at eight weeks out loses more matchups than at two weeks out. Runs 3x/day.
Been running the same tournament on my to-read list too. Same brain context, different axis to maximize value per period.
