+====== Time Thieves ======
+Time thieves are things that steal your focus.
+Work towards limiting them to become more productive:
+  * Too much work in progress. (WIP)
+    * Limit what you are working on to only a few (ideally 1) items at a time.
+  * Unknown dependencies.
+    * Poorly documented processes will turn a seemingly simple task into something complex.
+  * Unplanned work.
+    * Unstable systems/applications or "just do this quick thing" will eat up your day.
+  * Conflicting prioritization.
+    * Multiple people saying different tasks are critical.
+  * Neglected work. (partially complete)
+    * Focus and follow through tasks before handling someone's next critical item.
+Tools such as kanban boards can help with prioritization and focus on a few tasks at a time.
