Urgent vs Important
When you are planning your day, organizing the day’s tasks and deciding how your time should be used try creating two lists. One will be for urgent tasks and the other for important items.
Long-term goals and projects that are important, but not urgent should have a list of their own. Otherwise, the urgent or time-sensitive items can easily devour your entire day. This is how the often more important long-term items consistently get pushed to the bottom of the list.
Once you have the created two lists, try to set aside different time blocks to focus on each type of task.
