Weed-out your Clutters through Effective Priority Management
In his insightful book on Personal Management, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” Covey points out that many of the tasks we occupy ourselves with are unimportant, clutters, and may even be time wasting. He goes on to distinguish urgent from important in respect of our schedules.
“Urgent matters are usually visible. They press on us; they insist on action. They are often popular with others … they are pleasant, easy, fun to do but so often they are unimportant…Importance, on the other hand, has to do with results. If something is important, it contributes to your mission, your values, and your high priority goals.”
