Quadrant II (Important, Not Urgent) is the heart of effective personal management. It deals with things that are not urgent, but are important. It deals with things like building relationships, writing a personal mission statement, long-range planning, exercising, preventive maintenance, preparation --- all those things we know we need to do, but somehow seldom get around to doing, because they aren't urgent.
我們要處理不緊急但很重要的事情。這些事情包括建立人際關係、撰寫個人使命論述、長期規劃、運動、維護和準備——我們知道需要做，但很少人會理會，因為它們並不迫切。

If your priorities grow out of a principle center and a personal mission, if they are deeply planted in your heart and in your mind, you will see Quadrant II as a natural, exciting place to invest your time.
