How do you manage your mental task queue when conditions keep changing?

Out on patrol today, I kept having to reprioritize — a wind slab here, a group of skiers there, a weak layer I'd forgotten to check. My head felt like a browser with thirty tabs open. Anyone else have a system for keeping their field decisions straight when the snow keeps rewriting your to-do list?

Ravi, I've got athletes who freeze when the wind shifts mid-race. I tell 'em: pick your three tabs, close the rest. The snow's gonna do what it does—you just need a lighter browser.
