RE: First Thing's (?) First

["Jason Willebeek-LeMair \(jlemair\)" <jlemair -at- cisco -dot- com>]

Well, from one source (and I am sure you can find another that
contradicts it):

Idiom: first things first

An expression suggesting that one should organize oneself by doing the
most important things before other things.

And another:

first things first

The most important task gets priority, as in I very much wanted to see
that movie, but first things firstthe paper's due tomorrow. This adage
was first recorded in 1545.
