If your priority is on the really urgent problems in the short stack, the less important ones do pile up and either get important or get forgotten. Worked for me with great success. The trick is knowing what is really urgent.
I survived 3 major staff reductions in 31 years. Every time, the people who complained heavily about their work were suddenly energized and in love with their workload. They were often missing on Monday morning. Adios amigo!

Why worry about the tall stack today when it can always be dealt with the following day.

Does it really matter which box anything is in?
It doesn’t appear as if he’s working on (or even planning on working on) anything in any of the boxes.

A little breeze an open window will reduce the tall pile nicely.
