Noticing something new doesn't mean that you have to add a new goal to your todo list. Simply noticing reality and being aware is often the best first reaction to noticing something new.

When it comes to actually adding new tasks to your todo list it makes sense to choose them in a way that helps with your overall long-term goals and vision for yourself.

This sounds valid.

I haven't been doing enough goal prioritization, it seems, as I'll often feel tornbetween starting lots of projects at the same time. Keeping in mind which ones are most important down the road sounds like an obvious skill to be practicing.
