It’s quite common (even in reputable publications) to see people referring to “comparative advantage” as
meaning “the thing you’re best at,” or “a thing where you’re the best.” That’s incorrect—they’re simply
referring to “absolute advantage,” which doesn’t tell us much about prioritization if you happen to be
excellent at a lot of things. You have a 
comparative
advantage in the thing where the capability gap
between you and another person is biggest. You can find this written up properly in any basic economics
textbook, but the original reference is here: Ricardo, D. (1817).

(2), 391–401. The
“temptations” deployed by the researchers were actually erotic pictures, rather than the slightly more sedate
thrill of procrastination, but the mechanism is the same.
