Sir Isaac Newton, Part-Time Scientist
(I just found this in a comment and thought it should appear at the top level in the blog.)
Newton's priorities, in descending order of importance, seemed to be:
1) Perform dangerous alchemical experiments;
2) Work out odd theories of biblical exegesis;
3) Scheme to get his way within the Royal Society;
4) Run the mint;
5) Engage in priority disputes over 6) and 7);
6) Physical research, including other dangerous experiments such as inserting sharp needles deep into his eye socket; and
7) Mathematical research.
