I've realized that I spend most of time focusing on the second most important task I need to accomplish at any given moment. And since most of my work has been handed to me by other people, most of them think I'm amazingly efficient and end up exceedingly happy with the timeliness of my work, all but the one who is currently waiting for their high priority request.

I've found that the secret to this is to find someone who's the sort of obnoxious person who always has a "high priority" dumb request, and to make sure you're helpful enough that you'll always get that request, which you can safely ignore for the rest of the day knowing that you'll draw their ire but the fact that you solved it at all means they'll keep coming back.
