"I love to keep running lists of everything that I need to do, big or small. Mostly because I love crossing things off of the to-do list, but also because it helps me keep track of everything. Lately, I've started utilizing a free project management software that I use to make those lists, categorize the tasks, and mark them as a priority."

Prioritizing is a skill that requires practice. There are many approaches you can take. Here are some suggestions:

1) Make a list. By thinking through and writing down each item that needs to be completed, you can see it on paper.
2) Mark what is urgent or important. Take into account deadlines and meetings.
3) Order each task based on effort and estimated value. Considering due dates and how long it will take to do each item (also considering how much time you have).

If they all seem equally important I usually make a list of what task has the most value if got done first. Then I attack each task one by one until I completed everything on the list.

Your answer shows that you approach your work logically and with an analytical mindset. Using a specific example of how you've done this in the past gives your answer more impact and makes it more memorable. This would be a good opportunity to use the STAR method. Share a Situation that had a positive outcome. Describe the specific Tasks you were supposed to accomplish. Tell about the Action you took to prioritize them. Finally, share the Result - how you successfully complete all the tasks.
