3. Do not let the things that are most important to you, stay in the shade the things which are not so important. Every day, find time to check yourself, "Was this the best use of my time and my energy?". Time management is life management, so manage your time as best as possible.

More importantly, how do you communicate with them. What you focus on, what you get. If you are looking for a positive result, it is so be it. This is - a fundamental law of nature.
