Filler Tasks Definition
What are filler tasks? Important things you can do when blocked or waiting. Not busy work - genuinely useful tasks that move things forward.
Examples:

- Improving a process
- Preparing for future projects
- Research and exploration
Each team member identifies 3-5 filler tasks for their Focus file.
