Your insights on managing urgency versus importance are spot-on. Prioritizing tasks based on their impact is the absolute key for productivity.

Urgency is "the exception, not the rule." Lots of companies exist where the entire workforce is just one big fire drill. Total trainwreck. This is the failure of management to not focus the workforce on high value instead of high volume. The worst part is that management likely will run you into the ground before they care or fail.

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the profound impact your book has had on my life. Your insightful words and guidance have been a beacon of wisdom, providing me with invaluable advice that has shaped my decisions and actions. Your work goes beyond the pages of a book; it has become a source of inspiration and a guiding light in navigating various aspects of my life. The knowledge you've shared has been a transformative force, and I am truly thankful for the positive influence you've had on my journey. Thank you for not only being an exceptional author but also for being a mentor through your words. Your contribution to my understanding and growth is immeasurable. With sincere appreciation,

I have found the "three-fold nature of work" paradigm helpful here - some types of work (or workday!) are full of unplanned work (aka interruptions). But there is usually a need to pay attention to predetermined work and defining work before long!

I find the 2 minute rule to help to increase the overall throughput of things I'm getting done. Sometimes, what's pending for a big project is simply an email confirmation that takes 2 minutes - so you should just do right away and unlock the space for other things to get done.

Would love to hear David’s thoughts on Quadrant II time management concept from Stephen Covey.

Book has helped in many ways.. One concern observing ..had set Excel for projects and set a calender for next action, but many actions can't be closed on time ,so no of reminders are getting piled up very high and little difficult to clear in time..any suggestions sir
