If the importance of an activity can't be appreciated without throwing yourself into it, then how can you tell whether it's actually unimportant or just apparently so? You have to do things from quadrant IV before you realize they're miscategorized.

- Nevermark 5y agoI think there is “obviously important” and “meta important”. Two of the quadrants are “obviously important” work. A third quadrant is labeled unimportant, but clearly is “meta important”, even though it contains many tasks which are not important individually. But still meta important to do some of this work. And I agree the fourth quadrant, doing some non-urgent unimportant things in life, is very meta important. Unstructured activity contributes to creativity and recharging in the other three quadrants for me at least.
