必须戒掉的坏习惯

Failing to prioritize

分不清主次

Some people think having lots of goals is the best way to ensure success—if one idea fails, at least there are plenty more in reserve to turn to. Unfortunately, this sort of wavering can be extremely unproductive.

有些人认为多设定目标是确保成功的最好办法，如果一个想法没实现，至少还有很多备用的去做。但不幸的是，这样摇摆不定最没效率。

Warren Buffett has the perfect antidote. He saw that his personal pilot was not accomplishing his life goals, so Buffett asked him to make a list of 25 things he wanted to get done before he died. But rather than advising him to take little steps toward completing every one of them, Buffett told the pilot to pick five things he thought were most important and ignore the rest.

沃伦-巴菲特对此有最好的解决之道。他发现自己的私人飞行员没有实现人生目标，所以让他列出在去世前想完成的25件事。巴菲特没有建议他为完成每个小目标去努力，而是告诉他从中挑选自己认为最重要的五件事，别再管其他的。
