Priorities

About people who don’t prioritize on the important matters, it is said:
‎يترك الحمار ويمسك بالبردعة
‘𝗛𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲.’

Only a fool sweeps the floor, while his house is on fire! Wise people focus on the most important things first.

Persians say:
‎سر باشد، کلاه بسیار است
‘𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱,
𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆.’
