Accepting that you can't always preplan everything, in your scenario, once the C-P-D-I-V-F is done and you're not in danger of spearing anything, what is the next
immediate threat? What is going to kill you first- and deal with it next?
If traffic or ACC have become the major issues, the fastest solution may be to call 'MAYDAY - C-XXXX ENGINE FAILURE CLIMBING OUT. STANDBY' - establish your priority over everyone else and relegate them to the back burner. If not and you still have flying issues, haven't got blueline or whatever, then deal with them
first until fixed.
Be sure however that at the end of the day, on the ground in a nice warm office over coffee and doughnuts, a group of people will spend 6 months micro-analysing what you did by yourself in 6 minutes in the air
