Complete the important task at the earliest

If you have an important task to do and you don’t have any urgent task at hand, then complete the important task at the earliest even if there is lot more time to do it.

The reason is, if you don’t do the important task then it will remain at the back of your head when you are doing all other tasks and it ends up taking more time that it actually requires for completion.

How do supermarkets capture feedback?

Image
In a small shop (mom and pop store) the owner of the shop gets direct feedback from customers.

Now the owner decides if he should order that item or not.  My question is, how do supermarkets manage similar situations? In the supermarkets when some item is missing or sold out, most customers don't bother to ask the employees there, even if they ask the employees are not tracking any of this and therefore not passing this information to store manager or management?

Eyes, Mouth and Nose - A short story for kids

And I am useful for talking too. And more importantly when nose cannot breath I can be used for breathing too".  Eyes said, "you both are wrong, I am most important because only I can see, if I don't see then you mouth may end up eating poison too and we will die, and nose you could be damaged first if we fall without seeing where we are going."   After silently and carefully listening to the conversation, ears said, "do you guys realize that you have tota
