This Week's Challenge: Prepare for Quadrant 1

Quadrant 1 is both urgent and important. It deals with things that require immediate attention. We all have some Q1 activities in our lives, but some people are consumed by them.

- Pick a recent Q1 Urgency

- Brainstorm ways you could avoid or prevent it in the future

Ask Yourself: How many of my crises could be prevented with preparation?

"Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important." - Stephen Covey

This Week's Challenge: Use Your Time Well

The Time Matrix (see pic) defines activities based on Urgency and Importance.

- At the start of the day (or night before), use the Time Matrix to estimate how many hours you will spend in each quadrant.

- At the end of the day, record how many hours you actually spent in each quadrant.

Ask Yourself:

- Are you satisfied with how you spent your time?

- Which quadrant do you spend the most time in?

- What are the consequences?

- What needs to change?

"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." - Stephen Covey
