All <br />time-management problems show up here. <br /> <br />)> #3 and #4 Cause quadrants: We spend time either doing urgent but unimportant <br />things or unnecessary things. Interruptions, some meetings and email, <br />procrastination, busy work, time wasters. <br /> <br />)> #1 Cure quadrant: We do things here only because they serve our goal. Includes: <br />preparation, crisis prevention, relationship building, seeking opportunities, planning, <br />recognition/reward, developing employees. <br /> <br />)> Key: is to shift from Q#3 and #4 to Q#1. As we do, we can move to prevent some <br />of the crisis we face in Q#2. <br /> <br />14 <br />
