Prioritize them in an Eisenhower matrix. Pretty useful!

I need a few factors to decide: deadline, importance. It would be nice to know what's the goal of each task, who are involved, who am I blocking, etc. but wouldn't say necessary. My favorite way to prioritize tasks is the Eisenhower Matrix, so those two factors - urgency, importance -, are very crucial for me to prioritize.

It all depends upon the urgency of that task!
