Mike Flint made a private pilot Buffett's decade-long, US aircraft had also opened four presidents, but he still has more to pursue in their careers.
On one occasion, he and Buffett discuss his career goals, Buffett let him do such a thing: First of all, let Flint Buffett wrote most important of his career 25 goals.
So Flint took some time to write these goals down.
Then, Buffett let him look at this list and circle he considered the most important of five.
Flint also did. Flint now has two lists. One is he considered the most important of his career five goals, and the other is another 20 he also felt more important goal.
Buffett asked Flint: You now know how to do it?
Flint replied: I know. I immediately started to implement this five goals. As for the other 20, and not so urgent, so you can put leisure time to do it, then slowly implement them.
After listening to Buffett said: no, Flint, you are mistaken. Those goals you did not ring out, you should not slow things done in their spare time, but you should make every effort to avoid doing things that you should avoid them like the plague, do not spend any time and attention force on them.
As can be seen from the above story Buffett double target strategy, we must first identify the most important target to reach 20% of their own, and then focus on the most important focus to complete 20% of the target of their choice, divert your attention while avoiding as much as possible force to do the remaining 80% relatively less important.
Duan Yongping think not before mentioning the list than "something to", "not for something" may be more critical. This Munger said, "Invert, always invert" have in common. That has not been selected 20 goals, in fact, you are interested in or meaningful, so it is easy to find a variety of reasonable grounds to spend time on those goals. But they are the silent consume time and distract you, they can not really do yield results, this target appears to be clearly more dangerous than it is stupid stuff.
Double target policy strategy used in our work and life, is often reflect the next week, month, year,
