7 Habits is one of my all time favorite books.

I always enjoy the look on the faces of Sales Managers when I have them take out their to-do lists and mark each task/activity:

Q1 U/I - urgent, important
Q2 NU/I - not urgent, important
Q3 U/NI - urgent, not important
Q4 NU/NI - not urgent, not important

It’s priceless!
