Ah, but if I have to wait 10 minutes for a SME to be free for our scheduled
interview, because he or she is running late (as usual, but not predictable in
advance), I have a better chance of fitting in something small, and getting it
done, even if it's not the "most important thing" to be working on. In some
cases, an item might be a C just because it's not due immediately, but if I can
get it done now, that prevents it from later on become a class A crisis!

This is a slippery slope. Pretty soon you're doing things just to cross them
off your list, not because they're the most important thing for you to be
working on.
