Is it really important? Or just URGENT masquerading as 'important'? We conflate them all the time.

It's tempting to chase urgency but that's a counterfeit of the significance we truly crave: growth activities that are important but never urgent.

Meet the Eisenhower Boxes and the Macro Priority Matrix. They help us to properly prioritise our time and teach us how to:

  • avoid trading boredom for urgency;
  • cut out interruptions through delegation;
  • grow profitable habits by focusing on what is not urgent.
