Habit #3: Put First Things First

Prioritize your tasks, time and activities. Decide which of your roles and goals are most important, then determine what steps will best achieve those goals.

There are four quadrants where we spend our time:
1. Important and Urgent
2. Important but not Urgent
3. Urgent but not Important
4. Not Urgent or Important

To be effective we need to take care of everything in quadrant 1 and then spend as much of our remaining time as possible in quadrant 2. We need to live in quadrants 1 and 2.
