  1. Time Management

  2. ... is the most important skill you will ever master in your life ... or not. It is an ACCELERANT to all other efficiencies (or a retardant.) Those who master it first have a huge head start.

  3. You will need it in... • your studies • your uni and then job applications • any professional role you fulfil • any self-employment you undertake • your personal relationship(s) and friendships • your family life

  4. The key question: Which matters more?: Urgency Importance Votes? Any clever answers? Beware the trap...

  5. They are NOT the same ... and cannot be made so. Any attempt to do so is placing urgency OVER importance. Urgency = time pressure Importance = value pressure “It will make a difference” / “It must be now”

  6. Get OUT of Quadrant 1. Get into Quadrant 2. Start choosing IMPORTANCE over urgency.

  7. What you should be starting to see • URGENCY is the poison. • It is like a drug (imagine the effects of alcohol or caffeine or a painkiller) – a little in short measure can have powerful effects and seem to make you greater / better / more focused than normal. • But it has after-effects. It creates long-term damage to your health and wellbeing. (Stress, panic, low quality outcomes.) • It makes you dependent on it. It can harm all your relationships if you don’t restrict its use very carefully. • Being over-urgent can poison others around you too. • Organisations produce URGENCY without intending. It’s like emissions – necessary but a harmful byproduct. Limit it.

  8. Defeating urgency • Adopt Q2 behaviours • calm focus on the IMPORTANT thing • work far ahead of yourself and rewards come later • don’t be urgent or let others be urgent to you (“you can have it about Thursday, probably”) • Keep some capacity for important+urgent(the unexpected, returning favours) – in reserve • Let some stuff go (Q2  Q1  trashcan undone... “avoid the next overload” rather than win on this one) • Fix slowly, carefully, ONCE (template, don’t firefight) • Don’t ever let Q4  Q3 (not important should NEVER be urgent... FB / games)

  9. Be a Quadrant 2 person. Start NOW.
