Why average performer outperforms me?

I tried a bit could not do anything in CVR project. Prof., a nice human being gave us 15 days more to submit the same. I think this is the effect of economic meltdown that companies have started expecting more and on the contrary IIM professors who know the market conditions have started understanding working manager's problems at work place.

Today, I was analyzing that I generally do things quite fast but still the aggregate output produced by me is quite less. I am a quick learner but balance is missing. There are average performers but they put efforts in one direction. And I put my effort in multiple things.

Most of my time goes in tracking. One should complete all those activities which take some share of mind. Mind has limited capacity or bandwidth. And if you postpone an activity for some time, it does not mean it's not taking your efforts. It is actually taking lot of tracking efforts. I need to prioritize things and mark it as done quickly. There are few things which have less value but take lot of energy. I should minimize these activities. For example, my imint reward points, airtel bill calculations, orkut updates, paying bills etc. An example to explain this in a better way. I am suppose to collect my form 16 from finance. I have been thinking about this for long and I have been planning about it many times. This activity is taking some share of my mind which I could release for other important activity. Anyways, I have to get that before 31st March this year. I will do it on this Monday. Need to track it, add reminder...?

We are group of 4 people in cab who travel for MBA, Eklavya, Pragya, Krishna and Vishal. We have lot of discussions on various issues as the basic nature of MBA students. Pragya and me were discussing what kind of people become CEOs or lead the organizations? Why not Charted accountants become CEOs when they have more details?

Why is MBA required when people say they teach only making colorful presentations in IIMs?
