V. Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer to questions.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The
hours and minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to
time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities
about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial, time-consuming matters and never
complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be
accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are
checked regularly through the day to access progress. Not only is this an effective Way to
manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much- deserved sense of satisfaction
over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the work day
with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can
contribute to serious problems in mental and physical health
