Stephen Covey’s Time Management Matrix
Quadrant 1- Important and Urgent Quadrant Urgency
of
We need to spend time here. This is where we manage, we produce, respond to needs and challenges. Many important activities become urgent due to procrastination.
Quadrant II- Important but Not Urgent • • -
Quadrant of Quality This is where we do We do long range planning Anticipate and prevent problems - Empower others, increase our skills, broaden minds - Ignoring this Quadrant Enlarges Quadrant I - Creates stress burnout and deepens crises Investing here shrinks Quadrant I
Quadrant III – Urgent but not important Quadrant of deception • Noise of urgency creates illusion of importance This we are taken for granted difficulty saying “No” We live other people’s life If the activities are important they are important for others
Quadrant IV- Not Urgent –Not Important • Quadrant of Waste • When we are tossed around in Q 1 and Q 3 we often escape to Q IV for survival. • Quadrant IV is not about recreational activities or survival but it leads to deterioration.
The Answer to manage yourself! Quadrant of Quality Spending more time and attention in this quadrant will reduce stress and wastage of time.
Ask Yourself! • Decide: What’s your goal in life? • Watch your activities for the next 24 hrs. • Are your activities pushing you forward or pulling you away from the goal? • Next time ask: Whatever I am doing is it defining my goal?
Work Life Balance!
The true Art of Living consists not in living to
To Realize the Value of: ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade. ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed. ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train. ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident. ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Is The Jar Full?
The Moral of the Story:
Put the
Big Rocks in First
The best time is now; The best place is here & The best person is you! Joy be all yours
