Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
Lin Yutang

The idea of focusing on what is our priority seems to make sense…however, I notice I can catch myself procrastinating and doing the non-essentials, rather than getting down to one of the necessary essentials. The reason, for me, is it may not be the thing I would prefer to do at that moment and so I waste time avoiding it.
It is a bit like swallowing the frog first thing (dealing with the unpalatable, but necessary essential first) so I don't need to avoid it for the rest of the day, by doing the non-essentials.

If you could count up the time you spend avoiding the essentials in your life, rather than applying the wisdom of eliminating the non-essentials, how much time would you gain?
