What do you do if all tasks are "critical"?

If all tasks seem "critical," it is important to apply a systematic approach to prioritization:

1. Define criteria for criticality. What exactly makes a task critical — impact on business, users, security?
2. Break tasks into subcategories. For example, "time-critical," "functionality-critical," "risk-critical".
3. Assess impact and urgency. Use a priority matrix (e.g., Eisenhower matrix) to categorize tasks.
4. Communicate with the team and stakeholders. Some tasks may be postponed or redistributed.
5. Focus on maximum effect. Start with tasks that will bring the greatest benefit or prevent serious problems.

If all tasks are truly critical, it may be necessary to reconsider planning and resources to avoid overloading the team.
