Important things are those that contribute significantly to our goals; they have high value. The more direct the contribution, the more important the activity. Important things also tend to have long term consequences. They make a difference for a long time.

Urgent Things Are Urgent Things Are

Urgent things have short term consequences. They must be done now; they won’t wait. They may or may not relate to our goals or make significant contributions. But urgent things are far more demanding than important things.
