Reframe Debt as a Decision Tree
Debt feels like one overwhelming thing. It is actually several separate things with different urgencies and different costs. This reframes it as a decision tree: put the numbers in a table, apply the sequencing logic, identify the single next action. The goal is not to fix everything today. The goal is to know exactly what to do next.
