Warren Buffett is consistently ranked among the wealthiest people in the world. Beyond his seemingly endless stream of quotes, his mind-blowing wealth, and his midwestern charm, it stands to reason that Buffett has an excellent understanding of how to spend his time.

Then Buffett asked him to review each goal and choose the five most crucial ones.
