In your opinion, why do you feel Dustin Wax discusses Stephen Covey's quadrant system? Examine the word choice he uses in describing this system, and use it to support your response. I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW
NOT RANDOM ANSWER IF YOU DO YOU LOSE POINTS

Urgent means it requires immediate attention. It’s “Now!” Urgent things act on us. A ringing phone is urgent. Most people can’t stand the

thought of just allowing the phone to ring. You could spend hours preparing materials, you could get all dressed up and travel to a person’s

office to discuss a particular issue, but if the phone were to ring while you were there, it would generally take precedence over your personal

visit. If you were to phone someone, there aren’t many people who would say, “I’ll get to you in 15 minutes; just hold.” But those same people

would probably let you wait in an office for at least that long while they completed a telephone conversation with someone else.

Urgent matters are usually visible. They press on us; they insist on action. They’re often popular with others. They’re usually right in front of us.

And often they are pleasant, easy, fun to do. But so often they are unimportant! Importance, on the other hand, has to do with results. If

something is important, it contributes to your mission, your values, your high priority goals. We react to urgent matters. Important matters that

are not urgent require more initiative, more proactivity. We must act to seize opportunity, to make things happen. If we don’t practice Habit 2, if

we don’t have a clear idea of what is important, of the results we desire in our lives, we are easily diverted into responding to the urgent.

Look for a moment at the four quadrants in the time management matrix. Quadrant I is both urgent and important. It deals with significant

results that require immediate attention. We usually call the activities in Quadrant I “crises” or “problems.” We all have some Quadrant I

activities in our lives. But Quadrant I consumes many people. They are crisis managers, problem-minded people, deadline-driven producers. As

long as you focus on Quadrant I, it keeps getting bigger and bigger until it dominates you. It’s like the pounding surf. A huge problem comes and

knocks you down and you’re wiped out. You struggle back up only to face another one that knocks you down and slams you to the ground. Some

people are literally beaten up by problems all day every day. The only relief they have is in escaping to the not important, not urgent activities of

Quadrant IV. So when you look at their total matrix, 90 percent of their time is in Quadrant I and most of the remaining 10 percent is in

Quadrant IV, with only negligible attention paid to Quadrants II and III. That’s how people who manage their lives by crisis live.
