Tips From T. Marie

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

This is a very expensive way to impress others though, and will also create some folks who are unimpressed by your attempt to impress them.
