Quadrant IV!

Non-Important and Non Urgent - Quadrant IV activities are your TIME-WASTERS! These are the things which are not important to getting things done, and are in no way urgent. This could include watching TV when you need to do other things, doing trivial busy work, cleaning when you should be studying, or any other array of things which are not important and not urgent--Time-Wasters.

  • Important: It is very valuable to do relaxing things such as watching TV, but they need to be done in such a way as not to waste time you should be using to do other things.

Do something!

Worksheet activity: 

  • List some Quadrant IV activities or issues (Time Wasters) you can get rid of.
