Compare tasks and agree on their order.
The idea
Ask which task comes first, compare urgency with more urgent than, and offer a proposal with I suggest.
Examples
- The client needs the report today.
- The website update can wait until tomorrow.
- Which task should we do first?
- The delivery is more urgent than the meeting notes.
- I suggest we finish the budget first.
- Agreed, then we can review the schedule.

Watch out
A proposal alone does not establish agreement; invite a response.
