I feel if there's more nuance on the urgency dimension than just "urgent" and "not urgent".
I judge problems in the urgency dimension by "what will happen if I don't do this?" Will my boss be angry at me? Will I get fired? Will there be fines (e.g. tax paid late)? Will a potentially incurable disease be detected too late if I delay this medical appointment? etc.
Two tasks due next week, one of which will officially miss a deadline but not much will happen if I do it a day later, vs. a tax deadline, I'd better work on the tax first, so if it happens that there isn't enough time to do both then at least I've done the one which would have the worst consequences for not doing it.
