Pareto Principle

Convey’s time management matrix – determined by urgency (a burning ‘yes!’, react NOW) and importance (contributes to my goals).


Quadrant 1: urgent + important
What: Require immediate attention but will stress you out.
Example: Deadline-driven projects, problems or crisises.
To me: Revision for JLPT.

Quadrant 2: not urgent + important
What: A long-term development around your principle center and mission.
Example: Relationship building, search for new opportunities and interests in life, leisure, keep a balance in life.
To me: Re-evaluate my life goals, blog, go to gym, keep a healthy diet, read books and news, catch up with friends regularly, spend time with family…e.t.c.

Quadrant 3: urgent + unimportant
What: Usually short-term emotional status or distractions we have to deal with, keep them short.
Example: Feeling victimized, frustrated, discouraged or just simply a phone call.
To me: My emotional swings and random thoughts/impulses.

Quadrant 4: not urgent + unimportant
What: Where we tend to escape to or kill time.
Example: Worthless time wasters or pleasant activities.
To me: FB,  candy crush…>.<
