How useful is four-quadrant time management?

Where you put your time, there will be results.

In our daily work and study, we need to deal with a lot of things. If we do not plan well, it is easy to delay accumulation or even forget to do a lot of important things. In the final analysis, these are all time management issues.The inefficient time management method leads to inefficiency. Now I will share with you the super useful four-quadrant time management rule.

Four-quadrant time management rule is a time management theory put forward by American management scientist Covey.The arrangement and combination of time is divided into four quadrants, which is conducive to our deep understanding and effective management of time.

Clarify this rule, no matter work, study or life, you can easily deal with it, the following will teach you how to distinguish various events and apply them.

Zone A Urgent and Important (25%-30%)

Perform recommendations:Do it now, do it sooner

Consequences of saturation: affecting the overall situation, increasing pressure, causing crisis

Prioritize matters in Area A. The matters in this area are generally the result of daily delays. Minimize matters here, otherwise it will affect the overall progress and make people feel anxious and impatient.

Area B Important Not Urgent (50% and above)

Perform recommendations: start early, plan before

Consequences of saturation: busy but not blind

The things in Area B need us to make plans and complete them on time. The things here should be done at a fixed time, forming a habit and a virtuous circle of practices. Persistence for a long time will be beneficial to our whole life.

C area urgent not important (15%-20%)

Perform recommendations: tryLeave others to do it instead of your own time

Consequences of saturation: busy and blind

It's not important to you and it's completely meaningless, but if there is a time limit and urgency, you can try to leave it to others to do this kind of thing.Focus on your main line, and the urgent matters that pop up here take up as little as possible your own time resources.

District D Not urgent and not important (5%)

Execution recommendation: Do it again when you have time, try it out

Saturation Consequences: Affecting Important Events

The daily busy work and study certainly need some time for physical and mental adjustment, but it must be properly controlled, and must not indulge and become addicted.

The four-quadrant rule is a rule that gets better the more you use it. What we need to pay attention to is to separate things from eachEfforts are allocated more to those things that are of value to us.

Using the four quadrants can really help us sort out the primary and secondary order of handling events every day, improve work efficiency, and get rid of procrastination is not a dream~

Some events may not be directly classified into a certain area, and the feeling is not very clear. This situation can be put aside for a while. It may be that the time is not yet ripe, and it will be clear when combined with the actual situation one day!
