Sorry but as much as I like the idea, I can't fully agree.
Unless you are working in isolation we don't have the luxury to pick the items that have most long-term impact on our lives. Neither can we just let the urgent things melt away.
I like the idea of adding high-impact, long-term stuff (and will try to do more of this) but most people also need to do stuff for other people; a lot of this stuff won't disappear. A lot of us work in teams and we need to do our bit and unfortunately that does mean doing the mundane at times. By all means use a method to prioritise work and to focus on the essential but don't be dropping things that benefit the team but aren't top of your agenda.
Like everything in life it ain't always simple.
