Do you use the duration field? If not, you could use it as your priority field for your actions. Bring up the Flagged perspective. Now go through and assign duration estimates from 1m to 10m as your priority values on the flagged actions. When you are ready to work, bring up a context mode view grouped by Flagged, sorting by Duration. Your flagged items will be at the top of the view, sorted in order of increasing duration, so the task you gave an estimate of 1m to will be at the top of the list. When you look at the tasks in the context view like this, they'll all be ranked against each other regardless of project, which is what you need.
