Dwelling on finer points will make you miss the main thing.
Never waste your time on petty matters. Spend your time judiciously only on those areas that affect the organization as a whole, particularly those that affect profits.
Whatever may be your style of management, it will be a failure if you fail to produce the desired result. Results speaks louder than techniques and you spend your time on trifles you won’t get the desired results if your dwell on trivial issues.
Work by assigning priorities. Ignore trivial issues and concentrate on core issues. If you spend your time on trifles, you are sure to miss vitalities.
“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” – Johann Goethe
“The nicest thing about not planning time is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression.”- Sir John Harvey Jones
Ineffective way : “I put urgent things first.”
Effective way: “I put important things first. Otherwise they will turn-to urgent and critical.”
