Hi Dan, 

Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of
people don't do well simply because they major in minor
things. 

The above one liner reminds me of a time management parable
I read when I was nearly overwhelmed by my first serious
management job in 1977. Briefly it was: 

"A man standing on a street corner is holding a $10
bill, a $100 bill and a $1000 bill.  A wind comes up and
blows them off in different directions.  In that situation
you would instinctively know what to do...chase the $1000
bill." 

Well, after that I resolved to chase only the $1000 bills
and let the rest take care of themselves. 

Cheers,

Dave
