Use Quadrant Time Management System

Use Quadrant Time Management System

For more effective, we can divide up our day into four categories of activities based on a scale of urgency versus importance.

Q 1: Import & Urgent ~ Short-term crises and problems

Q 2: Import but Not Urgent ~ Long-term strategic goals

Q 3: Not Import but Urgent ~ Distractions and interruptions

Q 4: Not Import & Not Urgent ~ Time-wasting activities

To start, all we need to do is audit our day. Jot down every activity we engage in, and indicate what quadrant it falls into. Then, at the end of the week, find out what percentage of our time we spent in each quadrant.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
