What actually counts as quadrant 2?

Colleagues,

​How do you differentiate between quadrants 1 (urgent and important) and 2 (important but not urgent)?
 
Quickly think about three things that you really would have liked to get done last week but got pushed out by other things.

It is likely that these three things are quadrant two, and that the things that pushed them out were actually quadrant 3.

Quadrant 1 things are usually at the top on our to-do list, so they get done. Quadrant 2 are those things we know we should do, but don’t get to.
 
Quadrant 3 are all those things that we hadn’t anticipated, and which stop us from investing in quadrant 2.
 
Do good and be well,
