Not Urgent but
Important
You might often put off tasks in this category, but
these are the ones that require your attention more. These involve
planning, organizing, and implementing your objectives.
The real danger in delaying these activities lies
on the possibility that you may engage in more unimportant tasks
that you see as more urgent. This would therefore eat up a lot more
of your time. For example, instead of planning on how to increase
your sales or minimize your expenses, you tend to put most of your
time in entertaining customers (which, by the way, can be done by
other people). Or worse, you may procrastinate (more of this in a
later chapter) until you realize that youve not been doing any
activity under this category for a long time now.
Give these tasks high priority. You may not
immediately realize the advantages of accomplishing them, but the
benefits in the long run is worth the efforts you will be pouring
into them. |
