Who and what commands my attention?
It is difficult in life to keep the gnats from diverting our attention away from the bigger things. I feel it is a real discipline to establish the importance of each item and working on the top of the list rather then be diverted by small irritations or even temptations. A friend analyzed his executive position and said there were three things that drive him: 1) what his boss wanted him to do; 2)what his peers were depended on him to do; and 3) what he felt he should do. He, therefore. started an hour early so he could do the things he thought he should do giving him time to do the things expected by the boss and his peers.
