Urgent vs Important

This post is mainly inspired by a section of book "Seven habits of highly effective people". I found it very relevant for our daily life and felt it worth sharing.

What i mean to say here is that the task we choose to do in our daily routine should be important enough to do. Or in other words we should not miss the important tasks from our daily routine. Now the next question is what's important ? For the answer, ask urself the question, what u want from ur life ? Where u want to be in next 10 year or so ? How u want to be known when people think about you?

Once u get the answer, u should decide ur daily routine in a way that it helps in achieving the target. Also don't forget to filter out the tasks which are just time waste if you consider them in long run. A common example i would like to discuss here is about exercising, the task which is very important but usually we don't do it because there is no urgent requirement for this. If we want our body to stay healthy and tuned, in long run we cant ignore it ( and i hope no one would like to). But most of us ignore it as at present we are fine and no immediate effect can be seen .
So, this is the example given to help you in deciding what's important and to filter out the urgent but not so important things...
