Time Management Matrix by Stephen Covey
• Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of
Highly Effective People and First Things First popularized the concept of a Time Management
Matrix or sometimes called Urgent/Important Matrix for prioritizing. The system advocates the use of four quadrants to determine the tasks you “need” to do and deciding what should be made a priority.
What Are "Urgent" and "Important" Activities?
• Important - activities have an outcome that leads to the achievement of your goals, whether these are professional or personal. • Urgent - activities demand immediate attention, and are often associated with the achievement of someone else's goals.
– Urgent activities are often the ones we concentrate on; they demand attention because the consequences of not dealing with them are immediate.
