I simplify my prioritization strategies to use only 2 priorities: High (do it now) and Low (do it later). There should only be 1 high-priority item at any time, and when it's completed, the (next) low-priority item becomes the single high-priority item.
Maintaining multi-level priorities requires more decisions to evaluate relative priorities of different tasks and possible priority re-evaluation when new tasks arrive. Throw some colleagues, friends or others into the mix and agreements on the decisions become more distant.
Within the low-priority list these are sorted on the date and time required. If you then choose to ignore the priorities or sorting, the deviation will take you down the priority re-evaluation rabbit hole again. It's then your choice to follow the process, or not. Avoiding adding complexity to task scheduling and processes ensures I have focus.
Of course, this will not be for everyone. Good luck with that LLM!
