Prioritization of work is really hard. That's why we screw up things, we should not.
Prioritization induces us to focus on what's really important, first.
Sounds straight forward and easy, yet so eluding.
Most of the time I end up doing things not so important, but seemed at the point of execution, so urgent.
Randy Pausch had a good story on this.
When you have a frog to eat, don't think, just swallow it.
When you have 2 frogs to eat, select, swallow the largest, first.
Frog is taken here to project our mental image towards important stuff, which is always not so easy, taking quality time, and produces lot of complaints from our mind.
