How to use your full brain when writing code

I don't have _that_ many PMs, but when I have multiple people asking me to do simultaneous tasks, I email all of them, asking them to prioritize the list for me. I'm polite about it. And it mostly works out. But I never, ever shy away from doing this.

Very good idea - since it both puts the onus on them, and makes them realize the conflicting demands on your time.
