Too Much Content

You look at what's left and the arithmetic doesn't work. There is more material than there is day, so something is getting cut, and the only question is whether you choose or the clock does. Decide what has to happen live today and push the rest into a pre-read or a follow-up.

Say this — right now

Prioritize ruthlessly. Ask: "What's essential for today vs. follow-up?"

Word for word is fine. The room won't know.
