But can you help me about how to judge what is Urgency and what is Important? I think things help me with my target is more important, but can the urgency be judged based on time limit ? Or anything else? Thanks very much Greate idea!

I think things help me with my target is more important, but can the urgency be judged based on time limit ? Or anything else?

Tokiam planeliui pakanka popieriaus lape nusibrėžti dvi linijas – vertikalią skubos ir horizontalią svarbos – o darbus išdėlioti, pasveriant kiekvieną pagal abu parametrus. Jei pavyksta viską padaryti sąžiningai, tai viršutiniame dešiniajame ketvirtyje atsiduria neatidėliotini darbai, kurių reikia imtis pirmiausiai, bet bendra darbų tvarka šiaip slenka iš viršaus į apačią.

Reverse the horizonatal arrow to point left. Although we tend to think of right as better than left, you end with your MOST important items in the top right section. Studies have proven, however, that English readers have been trained to begin, and so focus more intently on the top LEFT section of a media. If you are using the visual version of the graph as an actual to-do list, as I am wont to do, having your most important items in the location your eye is naturally drawn to will increase your chance of getting to those items first.
