Understanding significance allows for a deeper evaluation of tasks by considering their long-term impact rather than merely their immediate urgency or importance. While urgency focuses on what needs to be done now and importance assesses how much something matters, significance evaluates how long the effects of an activity will last. This shift in perspective encourages individuals to allocate time today for activities that yield greater returns in the future. Recognizing that time is finite should not constrain actions to a single day; instead, embracing significance offers the emotional permission to invest time wisely for long-lasting benefits.
