The Warren Buffett Story

There’s a story about the billionaire investor Warren Buffett that I read about on James Clear’s blog a while ago. It details a conversation between Buffett and his personal pilot, in which the pilot was asking Buffett how to choose his career priorities.

To help the man focus, Buffett told him to go through the following exercise.
Step 1: Make a list of your top 25 career goals.
Step 2: Review the list and circle the top five most important goals.

At this point, the pilot essentially had two lists. List A, which contained his top five goals, and List B, which contained everything that hadn’t been circled.

Now the pilot knew he should start working on the top five as soon as possible. But then Buffett asked him: “What do you think you should do with the goals on List B?”

The pilot replied that these goals were still important to him, so he’d work on them intermittently – while still trying to keep most of his focus on the top five.

Buffett replied, “No, that’s the wrong answer. The correct answer is…”

Step 3: Treat List B as your Avoid-at-All-Costs list. 
These items should get no attention until you’ve completed your top five.
