People usually complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes
seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main
reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial;
time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones. One simple solution often used by those at
the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least
essential and are checked regularly through the day to access progress. Not only is this an effective way to
imagine time, but also it serves to give individuals a much-deserved sense of satisfaction over their
achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the work with uncertainty over the
significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and
physical health.

In Britain people celebrate Harvest Festival by singing, praying, and decorating churches with

schools and in churches, people bring food from home to a Harvest Festival Service. After the service, the

crop and gave them to their local church. They were used as the Communion bread during a special mass
thanking God for the harvest. The end of the harvest was celebrated with a big meal called a Harvest
Supper. The "Lord of the Harvest" sat at the head of the table. A goose stuffed with apples was eaten along
