			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last 26 years and 275 days (yes, I worked it out&#8230;) I&#8217;ve approached &#8216;To Do&#8217; lists in a very old-school way. We&#8217;re talking bullet points here. Obviously, given my ability to procrastinate and the number of things I <em>don&#8217;t</em> cross off my list each day, it&#8217;s not an amazingly successful system. I was delighted, therefore, to come across <a href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/management/organizing-todos-urgency-vs-importance.html">this post on lifehack.org</a> with the following graphic:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.dougbelshaw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/urgency_vs_importance.jpg" alt="Urgency vs. Importance" /><span id="more-184"></span></p>
<p>It shows that urgency and importance are independent variables, and suggests that you make a big one of these graphs for your wall and stick Post-It notes onto it. Now <em>there&#8217;s</em> a plan&#8230;</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t already subscribe to the RSS feeds at <a href="http://www.lifehack.org">lifehack.org</a> and <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com">Lifehacker</a>, get it done now! <img src='http://dougbelshaw.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
