Or just a lack of "knack". It's the same with almost anything - some people have an innate skill for certain tasks, where the way to accomplish something just looks obvious, and getting to that end just seems to flow naturally.
Case in point was when I was working in IT at a tech school... another tech was dreading the process of installing a Photoshop plugin one at a time on about three dozen machines in four different labs. I opened a command prompt on my computer and whipped up a little DOS batch that pushed it out, job done in five minutes. It wasn't even a priority FOR ME... I just had a particular skill that made that job easy, something my co-worker hadn't even thought of before that, let alone having the knowledge to do it (he called it my "black-screen shit"
)

it seems to me that everyone should have those as priorities right?
everyone should practice enough or seek out knowledge to keep the top two priorities sorted out? kids and home are much more important than an engine.

It's not necessarily a function of priorities. Same thing applies here as to any other job: some will find it "second nature" to just whip through a house and have it spotless in minutes. Others have to put a lot of thought into what order to do things in, and may have to double-back on some tasks, or re-start them, or stop to re-think them. Doesn't mean it's not a priority, just means the PROCESS doesn't come as naturally, and takes more time and effort to do the same task.
