Prioritizing your subtasks

How do you go about prioritizing your subtasks, or your ordinary tasks for that matter, when it comes to tasks that almost has flow-chart types of actions?
For instance, I have to do these in a specific order but not necessarily in a specific space in time; Main task: Go visit grandma Subtasks: 1: Get car 2: Take care of laundry 3: Pick up sister 4: Drive 5: Eat at Route 66 6: Drive 7: If grandma has forgotten anything, shop at the local store 8: Drive until we get to grandma's house Any suggestions as how to manage situations like these when they are truly linear if nothing unexpected happens would be great. |

I've wondered the same thing, though I rarely have so many subtasks that I can't see at a glance what order they should be executed in.
But here are some ideas: 1. Put the list numbers in the task name, then do a secondary sort on Alphabetical. 2. If the tasks don't overlap in time, do a secondary sort on start date or end date. 3. If you're not using tags, put sorting numbers in the tags, then do secondary sort on tag. |
