Comment on Ask HN: Has remote work made you procrastinate more?parent

Prioritization will depend on your goals, so it is hard to give specific advice. But I will say that defining your goals is the first step. Once you have those, you can figure out which tasks take you towards those goals most effectively, which tasks are blocking others, and prioritize accordingly.

FWIW, I split my tasks into three lists - Personal Tasks, Home/Property Maintenance (I live on a 40 acre hobby farm, so this adds up), and Work Tasks. Personal Tasks are driven by my goals to stay healthy and create artwork. Home/Property tasks are driven by my goals to increase food production at my home and improve our self-sustainability, and Work tasks follow my employer's goals.

Your goals likely won't match mine, but a similar breakdown might help.
