Quadrant II time management concept

June 11, 2010

It’s high time I should prioritize on using my precious time for much needed Quadrant II activities. The Quadrant II concept is taken from the time management matrix of Stephen Covey’s bestseller book “First Things First”.

The four quadrants of time management:
Q1 = urgent, important = quadrant of necessity
Q2 = not urgent, important = quadrant of quality and personal leadership
Q3 = urgent, not important = quadrant of deception
Q4 = not urgent, not important = quadrant of waste

The Quadrant II concept according to Covey is a time management concept of investing one’s time in life’s more important activities such as building relationships, planning ahead, doing regular exercise or activities that enrich one’s physical, social, mental and spiritual aspects. These are not urgent activities but they are the big rocks in life, and investing time in these endeavours would surely enrich one’s life in the long run.

about me

I’m just another simple soul inhabiting the blogosphere, writing about the bits and pieces of my life, sharing my thoughts and reflections on life’s journey… these are what I fondly call my ideas in pink.


Ideas are powerful. A train of thought can make or break, build or destroy. The choice is ours. Our ideas become our future. I believe that life’s meaningful lessons are best learned when shared with others.
