I find this to be a pretty interesting question. Prioritizing tasks has always been really simple for me. I just look at what the client or management wants done first. I think that people more often than not in the professional world will tell you exactly what they want, and all you have to do is listen and complete the tasks at a quick and effective rate. So I think really it just comes down to something I learned while serving in college. It's the customer is always right. So whatever the customer wants, that is the top priority. Followed then is management, of course, works with that, but I think that the tasks that are most important are usually what the client deemed to be the most important. So I think prioritizing client and management is the best way to go about that.
