Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's desk explodes with client files in March
Tax returns avalanche while audit deadlines arch
She grabs her color-coded calendar, maps the battlefield
Eisenhower matrix sorts what's urgent from what's real

[Chorus]
Time-block your victories, batch the mundane
Delegate the details, automate the strain
ABC priority ranking keeps you sane
When busy season hurricanes through your brain
Focus-sprint-recover, that's the CPA refrain

[Verse 2]
Morning golden hours guard for complex calculation
Email notifications silenced till past concentration
Pomodoro twenty-five minute laser bursts
Handle interruptions only when the timer purrs

[Chorus]
Time-block your victories, batch the mundane
Delegate the details, automate the strain
ABC priority ranking keeps you sane
When busy season hurricanes through your brain
Focus-sprint-recover, that's the CPA refrain

[Bridge]
Buffer zones between appointments breathe like meditation
Say no to scope creep without hesitation
Weekly planning sessions chart your navigation
Boundaries protect your sanity's foundation

[Verse 3]
Templates for recurring tasks slice hours away
Checklists catch the details that stress tends to fray
Schedule downtime sacred, meal breaks non-negotiable
Family dinners anchored, weekends not exploitable

[Chorus]
Time-block your victories, batch the mundane
Delegate the details, automate the strain
ABC priority ranking keeps you sane
When busy season hurricanes through your brain
Focus-sprint-recover, that's the CPA refrain

[Outro]
Master of the margins, architect of flow
Deadlines bow before you when priorities you know
