Learn to make decisions

Many assume that getting the most out of every minute is the direct path to success and prosperity, and for some this has become an obsession; but this is not always the case, since a person's emotional health requires taking care of the balance between the cycles of activity and rest, something that most people know but do not always put into practice in their daily routine.

• Tasks that are neither urgent nor important: These are tasks that represent a distraction and should be eliminated as much as possible; an example of this is taking long breaks to have a snack.
