Being productive is a must-have, not a nice-to-have.

9P | IS IT REALLY URGENT?
What’s the difference between what’s urgent and what’s important? What comes first? It is natural to focus on whatever seems most pressing now and checking an item off the to-do list, without getting to work that is most important in the long term. If you wait to do what’s important until your schedule clears up a little, odds are that it won’t…
