  25. Quadrant 2 Self-Management • Connect with Vision/Mission • Identifying roles • Selecting goals • Scheduling • Daily Adapting • Evaluate

  26. Types of Quad II Activities • Improving communication w/people • Better preparation • Better planning and organizing • Taking better care of self • Seizing new opportunities • Personal development • Empowerment • Quality time with those you care about • Delegation

  27. Observations Where do I get the time to spend in Quadrant II? • Primarily in Quadrant III • Time spent in Quadrant I is both urgent and important – acknowledge that we need to be there. • And we know we shouldn't be in Quadrant IV. The key is learning to see all of our activities in terms of their importance. • Then we're able to reclaim time lost to the deception of urgency and spend it in Quadrant II.

  28. Observations What if I'm in a Quadrant I environment? • Some professions are, by nature, almost completely in Quadrant I. For example, it's the job of firefighters, many doctors and nurses, police officers, news reporters, and editors to respond to the urgent and important. • However, for such professionals it's even more critical to capture Quadrant II time for the simple reason that it builds their capacity to handle Quadrant I. Time spent in Quadrant II increases our capacity to accomplish more.

  29. Reflection • List one activity in your professional life that you are NOT doing NOW that would give you tremendous benefit if you did it consistently and well. • List one activity in your personal life that you are NOT doing NOW that would give you tremendous benefit if you did it consistently and well. • If you know these things, why are you not doing them?
