Are You Working on the Quadrants?

Ray Kurzweil's new book, Omnifocus, is about how to get the most out of your time. He breaks down tasks into four quadrants: urgent, important, non-urgent and unimportant. If you're spending 80% of your day dealing with things that are urgent, he says, look for quick winds in email. But it will be a process before you can spend 80 % of your time on quadrant two or three - which is kind of ideal.
