Stephen Covey’s Time Management Quadrants
“Anything that takes us towards our
‘worthwhile goals’ is termed as Important
Anything takes us away from our
‘worthwhile goals’ or doesn't take us
towards our ‘worthwhile goals’ is called ‘Not
Important’.”
25
Important
It is not only important to know, 
What is “important” to you ?
But:
It is also important to know,
What is “Not important” to you?
Most of us spend too much time on
what is Urgent and not enough time on
what is Important
An activity that has to be done now and if 
delayed cannot be done again or will lose its 
relevance is called an  “urgent activity.”
Example:    “Last date of utility bills”
“Last date of Closing”
Urgent
An activity which does not require 
immediate attention /action called 
“Not‐Urgent”
• Mindless web browsing
• Too much television
• Junk and low value emails
28
