I'm not sure if you've read 37Signal's book on Application Development "Get Real" (http://gettingreal.37signals.com/) but you can accomplish a lot of things when developing applications by knowing not how to prioritize, but what to prioritize. The one thing that I appreciated the most from the book was this one principle:
"A great way to build software is to start out by solving your own problems. You'll be the target audience and you'll know what's important and what's not. That gives you a great head start on delivering a breakout product."
Start off by figuring out what you need to progress, and once you get to that point, build on it and make it better, and before you know it you're trucking along on the next great web app.
