LEARN TO PRIORITISE

LEARN TO PRIORITISE WHAT IS IMPORTANT.


What is important vs what is urgent. Priority should be given in the following order:

  • Quadrant I. Urgent and important (Do) – important deadlines and crises
  • Quadrant II. Not urgent but important (Plan) – long-term development
  • Quadrant III. Urgent but not important (Delegate) – distractions with deadlines
  • Quadrant IV. Not urgent and not important (Eliminate) – frivolous distractions

The order is important: after completing items in quadrant I, people should spend the majority of their time on II, but many people spend too much time in III and IV. The calls to delegate and eliminate are reminders of their relative priority.
