+    ;; My priority system:
+
+    ;; A - Absolutely MUST, at all costs, be completed by the provided
+    ;;     due date. TODO implement some type of extreme nagging
+    ;;     system that alerts in an intrusive way for overdue A
+    ;;     priority tasks.
+
+    ;; B - Should be given immediate attention if the due date is any
+    ;;     time in the next two days. Failure to meet due date would
+    ;;     be bad but not catastrophic
+
+    ;; C - The highest priority to which tasks for which failure to
+    ;;     complete on time would not have considerable significant
+    ;;     consequences. There is still significant reason to prefer
+    ;;     the completion of these tasks sooner rather than later.
+
+    ;; D - Failure to complete within a few days (or ever) of any
+    ;;     deadline would be completely okay. As such, any deadline
+    ;;     present on such a task is self imposed. Still probably
+    ;;     worth doing
+
+    ;; E - Potentially not even worth doing at all, but worth taking a
+    ;;     note about in case it comes up again, or becomes more
+    ;;     interesting later.
+
+    ;; F - Almost certainly not worth attempting in the immediate future.
+    ;;     Just brain dump.

+    ;; Priorities are somewhat contextual within each category. Things
