When the resources are limited, and we have no clue how much more is left, we must be concerned about spending them.
One such resource is our time.
So, I must first develop clarity on my end goals to effectively utilise this valuable resource. Then, I must satisfy myself as to how my current and future tasks contribute to the end goal.
If I am not proactively watching myself, I may lose precious, limited, and scarce commodity (my time) on things that add minimal or no value towards my end goals.
