Effective Prioritizing

有效排列事物的优先次序

Smart people have a strict list of priorities, with interpersonal relationships at the top.

聪明的人有精确的事情优先级列表，顶端是人际关系。

There is a difference between having a priority listand living one's life according to the list.

High-value people are excellent time, emotion, and energy managers who carefully allot their personal resources according to their priority list.
