I used to be in the same boat. I wanted desperately to have a process to follow that would help me prioritise what I should be working on. Now, looking back, I feel like I was over-thinking things. Like, a lot.
It sounds like you already have a list of things you want to work on, which is fantastic. Most people don't have that at all. The next step, in my opinion, is to pick the item that you're most curious about, and do that. If you're still having a hard time deciding which one to go with, it's probably one of the ones you keep thinking about. Maybe you shelved it at one point, but it keeps bubbling up in your brain while you're falling asleep or going for a walk. Do that one for now, and look forward to the second item on your list while you're working on it. If there are several that give you this feeling, just pick one of them. It doesn't matter all that much, as long as you find it interesting.
Your list will keep growing, and you'll never make it all the way through, but if you let your curiosity guide you rather than some sort of logic-based methodology, you'll always enjoy what you're working on, and you'll find yourself looking forward to discovering where your curiosity takes you next.
