Hook

Have you ever found yourself caught in a classic calendar squeeze? You know the feeling. Your calendar shows two incredibly important events scheduled for the exact same hour. Or perhaps you have found yourself stuck in a tricky "gray zone" where the rules of your day are not totally clear, and you have to make a quick decision under pressure.

In our busy, modern lives, we constantly face these moments of friction. We find ourselves torn between competing values. We want to do a job perfectly, but we also need to get some sleep. We want to be totally honest with a friend, but we also want to protect their feelings. We want to rush ahead and solve a problem, but deep down, we know we should wait for more information.
