Urgent things that need your immediate attention at the moment are for example that you may be having a heart attack and you need a medical attention. Miley Cyrus’ Twerk-gate however does not have the same weight of importance! Makes sense right? Unfortunately for all of us Miley is more important - metaphorically speaking... Most important thing I have learned this far (in life and at work) is the importance of creating plans and setting priorities. Even one of my favorite quotes since high school has been: “Victory loves preparation”. This is what I have been believing but tending to forget about lately. Today I discovered a thing called the Eisenhower Decision Matrix which makes very clear how to distinguish between urgent and important tasks and make real progress in your life. Learn and execute this mindset and see how your life turns around and starts to provide you lasting happiness, fulfillment, and success. This great article also touches a bit how modern technologies constantly keeps us on alert and how easily we loose our sense of long-term narrative and direction. This priority-blindness that each of us faces has a major consequences in our lives. We suffer from burnout and stagnation, and on a broader level our culture is unable to solve the truly important problems of our time.
