That was the whole point @padosky. Cutting onto everything that distracts a person is the first step. And that is where organising oneself starts. Then comes the 80-20 rule which I follow personally. We always have so many things on the list to be taken care of, but 80% of the stuff shouldn't be given high priority because they yield to just 20% of the results. What matters the most here is to prioritise the items on the list in the first place and then go for that 20% of the list which makes all the difference.
