What would happen if you just did the things you were supposed to do every day but never anything more? Would you grow? What if you only did the things that would help improve your skills, but you slacked off on the things that were urgent? I talk about these questions in the article "The Lessons of Stephen Covey #1: Quadrant II."
Dr. Stephen Covey, of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People fame, talks about the four quadrants of day-to-day tasks. Quadrant I tasks involve the urgent and important activities. Quadrant II is centered on the important but not urgent ones. It is this Quadrant II that Dr. Covey recommends to get ahead in life. You must focus on the things that are important for your future in order to improve your ability to create value in the world. This increase will allow you to make more money and to be more successful.
