ASAP is poison

“Funny how everything is high priority until you actually have to prioritize things.”

ASAP is essentially implied when requesting anything of anybody. Adding ASAP to everything puts every request at the same level, which means nothing is actually at a high priority. Then everything that hasn’t been ASAP’ed eventually becomes unimportant, and ASAP becomes a prerequisite for getting anything done. Reserve your ASAP’s for actual emergencies and avoid a “boy who cried wolf” situation.
