Two Observations
1. Where do I get the time to spend in Quadrant II?
• The primary place is Quadrant III • Time spent in Quadrant I is both urgent and
important -- we already know we need to be there. • And we know we shouldn't be in Quadrant IV. But
Quadrant III can fool us. The key is learning to see all of our activities in terms of their importance.
• Then we're able to reclaim time lost to the deception of urgency and spend it in Quadrant II.
![Page 22: Time Management - 1 January 5, 2005 Bill Mygdal, EdD.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649d015503460f949d486d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Two Observations
What if I'm in a Quadrant I environment?• Some professions are, by nature, almost
completely in Quadrant I. For example, it's the job of firefighters, many doctors and nurses, police officers, news reporters, and editors to respond to the urgent and important.
• For these people it's even more critical to capture Quadrant II time for the simple reason that it builds their capacity to handle Quadrant I. Time spent in Quadrant II increases our capacity to do.
![Page 23: Time Management - 1 January 5, 2005 Bill Mygdal, EdD.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649d015503460f949d486d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Summary
Temperament and personality factors make a huge difference in your time management choicesFind an approach that works for YOU and respects your preferences.Ask yourself “What’s the best use of my time RIGHT NOW?”Work on spending more time in Quadrant II – where you address tasks that are important but not urgent.

Personal Missions / Priorities
"Coach Landry was always able to keep things in perspective. He knew what was important to life, and he helped us under-stand that his road was the high road.”“He didn't dwell on defeat. He looked to the next play, the next game, the next season. He was our rock, our hope, our inspiration. He was our coach.”-- Bob Lilly
![Page 40: Time Management - 1 January 5, 2005 Bill Mygdal, EdD.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649d015503460f949d486d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Personal Missions / Priorities
In 1979 a 14-year-old boy named Paul lay dying in a New York City hospital in 1979. The boy, a Cowboys fan, got a telephone call one day from a man who introduced himself as Tom Landry. He shortly introduced his quarterback, Roger Staubach, to the ecstatic youth.
![Page 41: Time Management - 1 January 5, 2005 Bill Mygdal, EdD.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/56649d015503460f949d486d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Personal Missions / Priorities
"Later that year," Paul’s father wrote, "my son died.” “Tom, you might think your phone call was a small thing.” “But my wife and I hold it in our hearts as a cherished memory of a moment of pure joy for Paul that brought him an enduring source of strength.”

Personal Missions / Priorities
“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.”
-- Anne Lamott

Personal Missions / Priorities
“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for.” “And the most you can do is live inside that hope.”
-- Barbara Kingsolver
