If somebody shows me that 2x2 grid of important and urgent, important but not urgent, not important and urgent and not important but not urgent...I'm going to scream.
Seriously folks, it take more than a few analogies, funny images, memorable anecdotes and catchy business phrases to change fundamentally how I work and how my job/career effects my life.
- Ma8ee 13y agoMaybe not you, but many people, never think about the distinction between urgent and important, and for them that grid might be an epiphany. Of course the people who make a living of giving talks and writing books about productivity manages to do just that by wrap it in some easily digested anecdotes and phrases. That doesn't mean that there isn't anything to learn. E.g. GTD have increased my productivity enormously, and most importantly taught me to not be stressed out about everything I need to do.
