How do you sequence high-impact releases when two land in the same hour?

When a central bank decision and a major data print fall within the same hour, the order of events can change how the whole window reads. I usually start by pinning each release to its exact UTC time from the official source, then noting which one the market has historically reacted to first. Some people prefer to wait for the first print to settle before forming any view on the second, since the second release is often interpreted through the lens of the first. Others treat the overlap as a reason to stay flat until the spread normalises. I'm not sure which approach holds up better over time, and I'd be cautious about assuming past patterns repeat cleanly. What does your own checklist look like for a day where two releases cross, and what do you do with the window in between?
