BE SELECTIVE WHEN CHOOSING WHAT TO DO

If someone scattered $11,100 dollars throughout a park, consisting of an equal number of bills of $1, $10, and $100 denominations, and told you to keep whatever you could gather in one minute, which ones would you go after? You could grab a lot more bills if you simply grabbed whatever you encountered first. And no doubt, those $1 bills would add up. But I dare say if you ignored the small ones and went after all those more valuable $100 bills, you would be a lot richer. Life provides more than one minute, but the principle is the same. There isn't time for everything, so go after those more valuable projects and activities.
