In First Things First, Stephen Covey explains that most people are driven by the concept of urgency. But to really effect positive change in our lives, we need to reorganise the way we spend our time; based on the concept of importance - not urgency.
We have no real choice over
Sector 1 activity because Sector 1 operates on us. The real choice is when it comes to
Sector 2. We can choose to spend time here or not but Sector 2 is the key to getting
things under control.
The results of properly dedicating ourselves to Sector 2 activity are that we will gain control over what is happening in our lives: we will thereby reduce the time we spend in Sector 1. Time for Sector 2 activity, of course, must come from Sectors 3 and 4; minimise or eliminate the time you spend here.
