Whether you are writing different “todos” in differen

37、t colours of ink or are giving each list item a priority ranking, your decisions about the importance of activities will have a huge impact on how you spend your day. Most of those who run their own business tend to develop a deep and strong commitment to work and to the overall success of their end

38、eavors. Long hours is a norm, sleep appears to be optional and almost every effort is poured into growing the business. However, those who overemphasize workrelated activities at the expense of truly essential projects may actually see their time management collapse. Thats because neglect of essenti

39、al projects will make life, overall, less meaningful and enjoyable. At some point, the mere process of chasing after money will no longer subconsciously justify the disregard of some very important things. What are these essential tasks? They have nothing to do with record keeping, taxes, improving

40、advertising copy or handling customer relations. Instead, they involve being a good father, a good wife and a good person. These chores are the ones that give us a reason to have our financial goals. We work in the first place for these things. Your essential projects will be determined by your own

41、personal preferences and lifestyle. Those with strong religious beliefs will consider worship essential. Those who feel the need to exercise in order to relax will label physical activity as an essential activity. Its too easy to let these important things slide to the back burner when one is under

42、pressure to produce or to grow their business. One invests a great deal of himself or herself in creating a successful project and it can feel as though spending every waking hour at work is more important than virtually anything else. This perspective, however intuitive it may seem to one looking f

43、or ways to improve his or her time management skills, is actually a dead end. Over time, one will notice their motivation for workrelated efforts slipping away. That inevitability arises from a subconscious recognition of lifes declining value, possible feelings of guilt, and a recognition that one

44、is simply not meeting his or her most important responsibilities and commitments. As you triage your activities as a part of your time management strategies, resist the temptation to elevate those tasks directly related to working above other truly essential responsibilities. By maintaining a proper

45、 balance you can invigorate(使有活力) your efforts and live a fuller, more meaningful life. Work isnt incompatible(矛盾的) with being a fulfilled person. On the contrary, a great work ethic and a successful business can lead to a great deal of fulfillment. However, when important nonwork tasks are classifi

46、ed to the bottom of a “todo” list, it surely results in negative consequences. Essential Projects You Cannot(44)_An abnormal(45)_in time managementMost business owners are fully (46)_ to their work and success at the cost of essential projects. They are under great (47) _ to grow their business and
