Sequential

When you do something is as important as what you do. Proper timing must be coupled with doing the right things.

Never underestimate timing.

Zipf's Law,* usually applied to language, applies to timing too.

"Given some corpus of natural language utterances, the frequency of any word is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. Thus the most frequent word will occur approximately twice as often as the second most frequent word, three times as often as the third most frequent word, etc. For example, in the Brown Corpus of American English text, the word "the" is the most frequently occurring word, and by itself accounts for nearly 7% of all word occurrences (69,971 out of slightly over 1 million). True to Zipf's Law, the second-place word "of" accounts for slightly over 3.5% of words (36,411 occurrences), followed by "and" (28,852). Only 135 vocabulary items are needed to account for half the Brown Corpus.[3]"

The most important obligations must be paid first. Then all other obligations will either take their proper place or drop out of our lives.

Pay tithing first.
Then savings.
Housing should come next.
Don't forget food.
Followed by transportation.

It's tempting to pay nagging creditors first or perhaps a car or smart-phone bill.

Don't.

Give disproportionate attention to bills that provide and protect your family.

Properly prioritizing bills will give you contentment and peace.
