Steven Covey divided tasks into four quadrants:
Quadrant 1 -- Urgent and important: Examples of urgent tasks are fires or other emergencies -- they must be dealt with immediately. By their nature they may be hard to schedule and predict, but they can't be put off.
Quadrant 2 -- Important but not urgent: From a planning sense, this is the most important quadrant because these things are important for your long-term affiliate marketing success. Since they're not urgent, you can plan for them. Examples of these types of tasks are setting up your email, writing content, and writing posts -- tasks that move you along the road to affiliate marketing success.
Quadrant 3 -- Urgent but unimportant: These items demand your attention but are not very important. Your task is to minimize or delete them. Examples of these are the notifications, bings, bongs, and boops of your computer or smartphone -- distractions that are trying to steal your time. Eliminate or minimize them.
Quadrant 4 -- Not urgent and not important: These are the total time wasters. They don't add any value to your life and should be eliminated or minimized. Examples include mind-wasting television and listening to the latest celebrity gossip. |
