Do you think that perhaps what's required first is to bring nag and 
whups closer
together, maybe even merging them into a single app? ie. really create 
a single
task list rather than only creating a single set of 'priorities' or 'priority
areas'. I often find myself wondering whether something I have on my list is a
'task' or a 'ticket'.

yes I think this reflects the way I (should) do things too. It's 
possible to get
most of the way towards this by having separate task lists/queues for each of
those areas, then having the ability to assign a priority value to a task
list/queue (as well as to individual items inside the task list/queue). The
system should then be able to prioritise tasks across multiple task lists by
some combination of the two sets of values. Maybe..?
