How should competing savings goals be ordered?

Let goals compete without any priority
Split money equally across all goals
Fund whichever goal is nearest to completion
Fund essential goals before optional ones

Emergency fund, holiday, shoes — correct order:

Shoes first — small wins build momentum
Fund all three equally every month
Emergency fund first — protects all other goals
Holiday first — wellbeing enables focus
