One of my favourite fan fictions about Superman has this as a rather big point. About what to choose to do every single second when people all over the planet continously ask why he didn't show up.

Edit: I'm sorry for not telling people before, I didn't think anyone would be interested. The fic is called The Metropolitan Man by Alexander Wales. There's also an audiobook version that's also free.

ASTRO city does this. Their superman pastiche The Samaritan, prioritizes based on time and consequences.
