If you don't understand how your daily work is related to management's priorities then probability is high that you are going to do a lot of work that isn't valuable to the organization.
So, either it should be a trivial exercise to rationalize how a task is related to the objective, in which case this is nothing more than a small overhead of working in an organization. Or if you find you have to make leaps of faith to make the connection to the objective then that's a signal that you need to consider why the task needs to be done at all.
