Best Answer

When faced with conflicting priorities at work, you can ask your supervisor for suggestions if you are unsure as to which job, task, or project to tackle first. You can also brainstorm ways to work on several tasks at a time.

Opinions may vary. You can try adding its weighted importance (pros and cons) to the operations of the business, discuss it to your superior and let her/him choose/decide which among the 'conflicting priorities' your team should focus first. If you are the superior, you may consider hiring a support group.
Priorities are subjective - everyone has different ideas of what is most important. Here are some helpful ideas from our contributors: * Depends on the situation: if you are starving and dehydrated, go for the water, if it's about putting out a fire at work or working on a long standing project, decide which one will have worse repercussions and take care of that. * Always compare value vs time: which one is more immediate or has higher consequences. Then measure how you can meet each need: do I have the xxx to complete this task? If it's not life threatening and you don't have materials, move to next task. If it's life or death, get the materials. Look up Maslow's scale of human needs. * Make a list of Pros vs. Cons for each task to help you decide which one is the most important.
