20% of effort yields 80% of results, therefore
concentrate on the vital few rather than the
trivial many (Pareto Principle)
“Urgent problems are seldom the most important ones” (Dwight D Eisenhower)

“The best thing I did was to make lists of things that I needed to do and prioritize them. It helped me to become more organized and efficient.
It really helps me to keep on top of things and also not to procrastinate.
Procrastination is the easiest thing to do and the hardest thing to get away from.”
