For what it's worth, I have two tiers of involvement:
1. My core issues. These are the things I put most of my energy and action toward.
What are they? They're the things I _know_ the most about, or the thing things I _feel_ the strongest about. I'm not saying other things are less important - there are too many important things to play that game - but I either have more knowledge (and thus more chance to have an effect) or more passion (and thus ditto, plus more energy), or both, here.
This list is limited in length to what I think I can maintain energy on and move forward - so if you're passionate about lots of things, you're going to have to work out which you are most passionate about. (And you may rotate them over time, either if you get burnt out or if something critical rises to the top - just, IMO, do that consciously.)
2. Everything else I care about. I will do "easy"/"quick" things related to these items, and I do think they're important, but I will let others with more knowledge, more passion, or both, carry the main effort here most or all of the time.
What "easy" and "quick" looks like varies from person to person. Figuring that out is also a self-calculus.
