You basically treat the problem as being one of ordering when things are going to get done sooner or later, assuming there's eventually time to do everything. First accept that you will always fail on that count. There are always things that you want to get done, but won't do. (unless you're lacking imagination as to what could be done) Planning to do the urgent things first is defacto planning that the things that don't get done shall be the important ones. Important issue, but I think your analysis is wrong headed.

I keep things simple and identify which is important vs urgent. The link is a post I wrote a while back about working on urgent matters first. In an excerpt: When people are faced with tons of workload, confused, they usually asked themselves what they need to do first; most people struggle to identify and act on what is urgent rather than what is important. I have read and attended ton loads of time management trainings and while they are good, I'd rather keep my philosophies simple: urgent vs important. Life is too complicated already. This works for me and see if it works for you also. __________________ http://miloriano.com: Young man’s journey to become a CEO & succeed [...] [...] I haven’t actually read GTD because I have always been very pleased with my productivity output and I always get things done.

You need to identify what is urgent as opposed to what is important. I have written about urgent vs important here. It's a skill and discipline that takes so much to learn and master. __________________ http://miloriano.com [...] [...] Everyone struggle with time but one should keep in mind that there is only so much you can do.
