I use flagging to set up the actions I want to work in a day. Initially I thought I would want to put them in an order that I wanted to do them. But I've found that what I do is when I am ready to undertake an action I tend to look through the list and select which I want to work and it may not be the one that I would have listed as the most important.
Depending on the circumstances I may select based on the time it will take to do the action. If I only have 15 minutes until my next meeting I can only work an action that can be completed in 15 minutes or less. Other times I may look at my lists and my energy level will affect which action I'll pick up. Some I just may not feel up to tackling at that moment. Or I may feel that my energy is high so I'll defer those "easier" tasks until later and work the one that requires me to have the most energy
