prioritising
Deciding what's first
Prioritising is the British spelling of prioritizing—arranging tasks or concerns in order of importance.
To prioritise is to decide what matters most and address it first: I'm prioritising my health this year.
The word implies making deliberate choices about where to direct limited time or resources.
