What is a natural way to say the following?



  1. It's better to give priority to this task.


  2. I need to set priorities.


  3. I need to get my priorities straight.


I'm finding expressions like: (приоритизировать, уделять первоочередное внимание, определить приоритеты), but I'm unable to know whether some are too formal, too literary or unnatural.

  1. Лучше поставить на первое место эту задачу. (informal) OR Лучше дать приоритет этой задаче. (formal)


  2. Мне нужно расставить приоритеты.


  3. Мне нужно разобраться/определиться с приоритетами.


The word приоритет is quite formal so most sentences containing it will probably sound formal.



The expressions "быть в приоритете", "поставить в приоритет" seem to be quite new and are less formal than the word itself. Example:



  • У нас сейчас банька в приоритете.

    "приоритизировать" is an OK word, it's a bit long, but I definitely heard it used in real life conversations. For more informal statements you can use:



    It's better to give priority to this task.



    Первым делом надо [сделать/закочить/выполнить] [задачу]





    For the other two examples you can use "(правильно) расставить приоритеты" if you want to be more formal/literal, but if it's expression along the line of "Hey man, you need to get your priorities straight" you night use something like:



    не забывай что тут главное



    But like a lot of translation it might depends on context
