Allocation choices can make your life turn out to be very different from what you intended. Sometimes that\u2019s good: Opportunities that you never planned for emerge. But if you make poor choices about how to invest your resources, the outcome can be bad. When people who have a high need for achievement have an extra half hour of time or an extra ounce of energy, they often unconsciously allocate it to activities that yield the most tangible accomplishments. And our careers provide the most concrete evidence that we\u2019re moving forward. You ship a product, finish a design, complete a presentation, close a sale, get paid or promoted. In contrast, investing time and energy in your relationship with your friends and family typically doesn\u2019t offer that same immediate sense of achievement. Kids, for instance, misbehave every day, and it\u2019s not until 20 odd years later that you can say, \u201cI raised a good kid.\u201d You can neglect your relationship with your spouse, and on a day-to-day basis, it doesn\u2019t seem as if things are deteriorating. People who are driven to excel have this unconscious propensity to underinvest in their families and overinvest in their careers \u2014 even though intimate and loving relationships with their families are the most powerful and enduring source of happiness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
