Unit 12 text A,Importance,1. Many important things that contribute to our overall objectives and give meaning to life dont tend to act upon us or press us. Theyre not “urgent”, but life dont tend to act upon us or press us.,next,up,home,2. In order to focus on the issues of urgency and importance more effectively, lets look at the Time Management Table below. As you can see it divides our activities into four parts. We spend time in one of these four ways:,next,up,next,up,home,3. Part represents things that are both “urgent” and “ important”. Heres where we handle an angry client, meet a deadline, repair a broken-down machine, undergo a heart surgery, or help a crying child who has been hurt. We need to spend time in Part . If we ignore it, we become buried alive. But we also need to realize that many important activities become urgent through delay, or because we dont do enough prevention and planning.,next,up,home,N,4. Part includes activities that are “ important, but not urgent”. This is the part of quality. Heres where we do our long-range planning, anticipate and prevent problems, broaden our minds, and increase our skills through reading and continuous professional development, imagine how were going to help a struggling son or daughter, prepare for important meetings and presentations, or invest in relationships through deep, honest listening.,next,up,home,Increasing time spent in this part increases our ability to do. Ignoring this part and enlarge Part , creating stress and deeper crises for us. On the other hand, investing in this part shrinks Part . Planning, preparation, and prevention keep many things from becoming urgent. Part does not act on us; we must act on it. This is the Part of personal leadership.,next,up,home,5. Part is easily confused with Part . It includes things that are “urgent, but not important.” this is the Part of Deception. The noise of urgency create the illusion of importance. But the actual activities, if theyre important at all, are only important to someone else. Many phone calls, meetings, and drop-in visitors fall into this type. We spend a lot of time in part meeting other peoples needs, thinking were really in Part .,next,up,home,N,6. Part is reserved for those activities that are “not urgent and not important.” This is the part of Waste. Of course, we really shouldnt be there at all. But we get so battle-scarred from being tossed around in part and that we often “escape” to part for survival. What kinds of Things are in part ? Not necessarily recreational things, because recreation in the true sense of re-creation is a valuable part activity. Part is deterioration. We would find theres nothing there.,next,up,home,N,7. wed like to suggest that you look at the Time Management Table and think back over the past week of your life. If you were to place each of your last weeks activities in one of these parts, where would you say you spent most of your time?,next,up,home,N,8. Think carefully as you consider Parts and . Its easy to think that if something is urgent, it is important, it is important. A quick way to differentiate between these two parts is to ask yourself if the urgent activity will contribute to an important objective. If not, it probably belongs to part .,next,up,home,9. Think about the questions: what is the one activity that you know if you did superbly well and consistently would have significant positive results in your personal life? what is the one activity that you know if you did superbly well and consistently would have significant positive results in your professional life?,next,up,home,10. Think about your answers to these questions. Among the answers we get, a great majority of them fall under six key activities: 1. Improving communication with people 2. Better preparation 3. Better planning and organizing 4. Taking better care of self,next,up,home,5. Seizing new opportunities 6. Personal development all of these are in Part . Theyre important.,next,up,home,11. So why arent people doing them? Why arent you doing the things you have identified from the questions above?,next,up,home,12. Probably because theyre not urgent. They arent pressing.
