9. Quadrant I Represents things that are both “urgent” and “important” – we need to spend time here This is where we manage, we produce, where we bring our experience and judgment to bear in responding to many needs and challenges. Many important activities become urgent through procrastination, or because we don’t do enough prevention and planning

10. Quadrant II Includes activities that are “important, but not urgent”- Quadrant of Quality Here’s where we do our long-range planning, anticipate and prevent problems, empower others, broaden our minds and increase our skills Ignoring this Quadrant feeds and enlarges Quadrant I, creating stress, burnout, and deeper crises for the person consumed by it Investing in this Quadrant shrinks Quadrant I

11. Quadrant III Includes things that are “urgent, but not important” - Quadrant of Deception. The noise of urgency creates the illusion of importance. Actual activities, if they’re important at all, are important to someone else. Many phone calls, meetings and drop-in visitors fall into this category

12. Quadrant IV Reserved for activities that are “not urgent, not important”- Quadrant of Waste We often “escape” to Quadrant IV for survival Reading addictive novels, watching mindless television shows, or gossiping at office would qualify as Quadrant IV time-wasters

13. Is it bad to be in Quadrant I? Are you in Quadrant I because of the urgency or the importance? If urgency dominates, when importance fades, you’ll slip into Quadrant III. But if you’re in Quadrant I because of importance, when urgency fades you’ll move to Quadrant II.

14. What is the problem with urgency? Urgency itself is not the problem… When urgency is the dominant factor in our lives, importance isn’t What we regard as “first things” are urgent things

15. Where do I get time to spend in Quadrant II? From Quadrant III Time spent in Quadrant I is both urgent and important- we already know we need to be there We know we shouldn’t be there in Quadrant IV But Quadrant III can fool us

16. MINOR TIME WASTERS Interruptions we face during the day Being a slave on the telephone Unexpected/Unwanted visitors Needless reports/Junk mail Meetings without agenda

17. MAJOR TIME WASTERS Procrastination Afraid to Delegate Not Wanting to Say "NO" Low Self-Esteem Problems With Objectives/Priorities

18. WHAT CAN STOP YOU? Negative Thoughts Negative People Low Self-Esteem Fear of Failure Fear of Rejection / Criticism
