answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes
seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main
reason for this is that most people fail Í to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial,
time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists
order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly throughout the day to assess
progress. Not only is this an effective way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much-
deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the
workday with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to
serious problems in mental and physical health.
