I agree with the author's first point in full. The second I feel is moot.

"Decide what your priorities are quickly and follow through. If you feel compelled to change your priorities, do it quickly."

You shouldn't do/think/execute anything you regard as a priority unless you can do so without second-guessing yourself. This is about being content with your decision, which usually only happens when you've weighed out the pros/cons and understand most of the implications.

That being said, I agree with manmal that having a "clear declaration of working and resting time" is hugely important. Otherwise you end up treating others poorly because when you're spending time with them, you're actually focusing your attention on stuff you "have" to get done, and as a result you don't contribute 100% to the current social situation (bad).
