That being said, I try to capture items like that via a constantly evolving list (which is pretty much necessary no matter what). The relative business value of the next item in 'the sequence' would be higher that day/week than than it would be otherwise and would bubble to the top if it was the highest return on investment.
Likewise, it's possible for the 'cost' of certain tasks to drop/rise based on what's happened recently (i.e. you just learned more about something, or you're in a really productive mood or office setting).
In the end, my ideal would be just to figure out what's the highest return for my time __right now__ and work on that. I.e., it's a continuously updating function and the list is never set in stone.

True, I agree.
