　　You must always ensure that you put your top priority first. No matter what.

　　无论如何，你必须确保你把你的首要任务。

　　Here are 4 Signs that You Aren’t Putting Your Top Priority First:

　　这里有你没把它放在首要任务的4迹象：

　　1.You Talk About It Too Much – Talking doesn’t accomplish anything. You have to do. Spend less time talking about “what you are going to do someday,” and more time actually doing it. Stop talking about finding a new job, start applying. Stop bragging³ about starting that business, do it.

　　你谈论太多---说了但是任何事情都没做。你要做的。花更少的时间谈有一天你所要做的事,多留一些时间来真正的做。不要再谈怎样找一个新的工作，而是要真正的开始申请。不要在吹嘘开始一项新生意，而是真正去做。

　　2.It’s Not the First Thing You Do Each Day – You should start each day doing the most important thing you need to do that day. If getting in shape is your top priority then you should start at the gym. If publishing a book is your goal, then write before you do anything else.

　　它不是你每天应该开始要做的第一件事---每天你都应该做你需要做的最重要的那一件事。如果锻炼是你的首要任务,那么你开始应该在健身房。如果出版一本书是你的目标,那就要在做任何事情之前写作。

　　3.You Don’t Put It In Front of Other Things – The definition of a priority is “something that is more important than something else.” Yet, you continue to do mundane⁴ and other activities instead of your top goal. Does your behavior show that it is truly a priority?

　　你没有把它放在别的事情的前面—优先的定义就是“某件事比其他东西更重要”。然而,你继续做平凡的以及其他的活动,而不是你的最高目标。你的行为是否证明它确实是一个优先的事情？

　　4.You Don’t Do It Everyday – Working on your top priority can’t be an option. “Maybe I will work on it today.” No. It must be done each and every day. No matter what else transpires⁵ in your day.

　　你没有每天做---完成你的首要任务不是一个选择。“也许我今天会做。”不。必须每天完成。无论发生了什么你都要完成。

　　Always Put Your Big Goal First

　　总是把你的大目标放在第一位

　　Make sure you are truly prioritizing your big goal as #1.

　　一定要真正的把你的大目标放在首位。

　　Your top goal must always come first.

　　你的最高目标永远排在第一。

　　Do it first. Do it every day. And do it before anything else in your day. 先做它。每天做。每天在做其他事情之前先做这件事。
