The rotten truth about the urgent is that the queue of it never ends.
Even when we’ve tackled all the to-dos that others tell us are urgent, we make up a few of our own so we can keep busy.
Of course, this is damaging to our future and our feeling of long term fulfillment.
Alas. The answer isn’t to get done with the urgent stuff faster, in an attempt to have time to focus on other non urgent, but more important matters.
No.
The answer is to scrutinize the urgent and, when possible, put it off a day so you can do the meaningful stuff.
It’s not about having time. It’s about making it.
