When to Embrace Urgency: The Occasional, Short-Term Galvanizing Power of Urgency

Woah, I thought we were about Undoing Urgency!?

Well, typically, yes. This is one of those rules that serves you well most of the time. You want to avoid useless or counterproductive urgency. If you fail to get out of the knife fight of the urgent, you cannot take care of the artillery battle of the important.

• not able to pay the bills and overhaul of business or family expenses needed
