I love this - both the prioritizing and the saying no. The "creative procrastinating" reminds me a bit of Steven Covey - what has to be done now, what can be done later - so I would add the advice to put certain things that may create a crisis later (you'll know what they are for you) higher on the list than they might otherwise be. That one's still hard for me, but I'm getting much better about saying "no, not right now." Great post!

Oh no, penguins rock, hands (flippers?) down!
