How Time and Stress are related
Stephen Coveys Time
Management Matrix
Quadrant 1- Important and
Urgent
Quadrant
Urgency
of
We need to spend
time here.
This is where we
manage, we
produce, respond to
needs and challenges.
Many
important
activities
become urgent due
to
procrastination.
Quadrant II- Important but Not
Urgent
Quadrant of Quality
This is where we do
We do long range planning
Anticipate and prevent
problems
- Empower others, increase
our skills, broaden minds
- Ignoring this Quadrant
Enlarges Quadrant I
- Creates stress burnout and
deepens crises
Investing here shrinks
Quadrant I
Quadrant III  Urgent but not
important
Quadrant of
deception
 Noise of urgency
creates illusion of
importance
This we are taken for
granted difficulty
saying No
We live other peoples
life
If the activities are
important they are
important for others
Quadrant IV- Not Urgent Not
Important
 Quadrant of
Waste
 When we are
tossed around in Q
1 and Q 3 we often
escape to Q IV for
survival.
 Quadrant IV is not
about recreational
activities or
survival but it leads
to deterioration.
The Answer to manage
yourself!
Quadrant
of
Quality
Spending
more
time
and
attention in this
quadrant
will
reduce
stress
and wastage of
time.
Ask Yourself!
 Decide: Whats your
goal in life?
 Watch your activities
for the next 24 hrs.
 Are your activities
pushing you forward
or pulling you away
from the goal?
 Next time ask:
Whatever I am doing
is it defining my goal?
Work Life Balance!
The true
Art of
Living
consists
not in
living to
To Realize the Value of:
ONE YEAR, ask a student who
failed a grade.
ONE MONTH, ask a mother
who gave birth to a
premature baby.
ONE WEEK, ask the editor of
a weekly newspaper.
ONE DAY, ask a daily wage
laborer with kids to feed.
ONE HOUR, ask the lovers
who are waiting to meet.
ONE MINUTE, ask a person
who missed the train.
ONE SECOND, ask a person
who just avoided an accident.
ONE MILLISECOND, ask the
person who won a silver
medal in the Olympics.
Is The Jar Full?
The Moral of the
Story:
Put the
Big
Rocks
in First
The best time is
now;
The best place is
here &
The best person
is you!
Joy be all yours
