Quadrant I
Represents things that are both urgent and important we need to spend time here This is where we manage, we produce, where we bring our experience and judgment to bear in responding to many needs and challenges. Many important activities become urgent through procrastination, or because we dont do enough prevention and planning
Quadrant II
Includes activities that are important, but not urgent- Quadrant of Quality Heres where we do our long-range planning, anticipate and prevent problems, empower others, broaden our minds and increase our skills Ignoring this Quadrant feeds and enlarges Quadrant I, creating stress, burnout, and deeper crises for the person consumed by it Investing in this Quadrant shrinks Quadrant I
Quadrant III
Includes things that are urgent, but not important - Quadrant of Deception. The noise of urgency creates the illusion of importance. Actual activities, if theyre important at all, are important to someone else. Many phone calls, meetings and drop-in visitors fall into this category
Quadrant IV
Reserved for activities that are not urgent, not important- Quadrant of Waste We often escape to Quadrant IV for survival Reading addictive novels, watching mindless television shows, or gossiping at office would qualify as Quadrant IV timewasters
Is it bad to be in Quadrant I?
Are you in Quadrant I because of the urgency or the importance? If urgency dominates, when importance fades, youll slip into Quadrant III. But if youre in Quadrant I because of importance, when urgency fades youll move to Quadrant II.
From Quadrant III Time spent in Quadrant I is both urgent and important- we already know we need to be there We know we shouldnt be there in Quadrant IV But Quadrant III can fool us
