October 16: Urgent vs. Important: Know the Difference⏳
What you spend your time on determines your results. If you focus on the wrong things, you’re robbing your future success.
Don’t confuse urgency with importance. Spend more time on what’s important but not urgent to create lasting success.
It’s easy to get trapped in the cycle of constantly responding to urgent tasks. But urgent doesn’t always mean important. Urgent tasks demand immediate attention, but important tasks are the ones that drive long-term success. If you constantly prioritize the urgent, you may never have time for what truly matters. Carve out time in your schedule for strategic, important work—even if it’s not yelling for your attention right now.
Take Action: Block off 30 minutes today to focus on one important (but not urgent) task you’ve been putting off. Treat it like a meeting with yourself—non-negotiable.
