Give up the less important things so that you can focus and persist on the few important ones. Here are several tips to help you apply it:
放下分量較輕的事情才能專注于和堅持于少數要務。以下一些建議告訴你如何做到：
1. Find what matters to you
1. 知道什么工作重要
You need a way to know whether or not something is important. That’s why you need to find what matters to you. What gives you inner satisfaction? Be persistent on things that matter to you and give up the others.
要知道什么工作重要，這是判斷什么工作是重要的前提。什么事情能讓你獲得內心的滿足感？在自認為重要的事情上努力，放下其他。
2. Assess your life every now and then
2. 不時評估自己的生活
Even if you already find what matters to you, the busyness of life can obscure it. As a result, you might get distracted by superficial things. So find time to reflect on your life every now and then. Look at how your life is going. Are you staying true to what your heart is saying?
即使已經弄清楚什么事情該放在首位，但生活的繁忙會使你忽略這點。結果你就可能會為表面的事情分心。所以應該不時抽空審視生活。看看生活的 軌跡和之前腦海中計劃有沒有出入。
3. Learn to let go
3. 學會放手
You may know that you need to give up something, but it might not be easy to let it go. This is especially true if you already spend a lot of resources on it.
你也許清楚要放棄某件事，但要真的放手有點困難。如果你已經在這件事上花費了很多資源，放手就尤其困難。
The fact that you’ve spent your resources on the wrong thing doesn’t justify spending even more resources on it. Those resources are already spent. Now you need to find the best way to spend the resources that are left. Holding on the wrong thing means losing better opportunities. The more resources you spend on it, the more opportunities you lose.
在錯誤的方向上浪費資源并不表示你要在這條路上錯到底。之前浪費的資源就算了。現在要做的是找到最正確的方向，好好利用剩下的資源。死咬錯誤就 意味著放棄更好的機會。在錯誤上浪費的資源越多，你的機會就失去得越多。
4. Refocus your effort
4. 調整努力的方向
Once you’ve given up the less important things, renew your focus and effort on the few important ones. Now that you are focused, you have a chance to make a real difference.
一旦對無謂的事情撒手，之后就該調整自己的關注點，把精力放在一些重要事情上，這樣你才能有所作為。
