This answers your question because it gives a way to prioritize tasks and connect larger objectives with day to day tasks.
You should know at first it gives off a sense of being overly prescriptive and it seemed “cargo culty”, both of which I am really biased against, so I ignored it for years after I first heard about it. But actually, the entire thing is essentially the normal process of prioritizing and deciding what things get done.
For starting out, I don’t recommend reading the original book, but instead online summaries.
Another plus is that it introduces you to Kanban boards (cooler and simpler than it sounds), which are basically a better way of making lists.
Getting Things Done is a great system that I learned independently and that I since learned many EAs use.
