Prioritise

Getting or rather chasing my kids to do their school(home)work have been difficult for me.
Maybe, they had rather that their mummy get them to do (think i am too impatient with them).
Sometimes, i wonder, why can't they 'prioritise' - do their homework before read books, or play...
Their mummy rebuked me : If you know how to prioritise, you wouldn't have so much backlog of office work...if a 40-year-old man dun know how to prioritise, how do you expect a 7-year child?
She is right. I certainly have 'failed' in work and in life.
