Stephen Covey has a handy-dandy 4 quadrant model for time mgmt. It's powerful. Here are some ideas on how to optimize. Where are you spending your time?

[@karamcvanner506]

I've been revisiting Covey's brilliant 7 habits lately. I wanted to take a moment and thank you for re-iterating the quadrants and reminding me how important it is to sharpen my saw and remain proactive at all times. Take Care

[@RendersmartAustralia]

One of the best explanations on Covey's matrix I've seen. I've been using this for 10+ years however have never really looked at the link between each of them in this way. Lightbulb moment. Other business coaching has helped me understand you need time away from work and achieving personal objectives/goals to offset your work but never had I made the link in this matrix prior to your video. Thank you.

I'm watching this video as a quadrant II activity. I swear! ;) Seriously, I like your tip at 5:14, when you suggest trying to notice when you slip into a quadrant IV activity, then trying to shift back to quadrant II. That's a nice "real-world" addendum to Covey's very helpful book.

[@HeroicBrian]

FortyNineHudson Thank you and YES!! That's one of my favorite personal practices!

[@mahfah7911]

+Brian Johnson Brian any tips on whether you should daily reminders of these quadrants or keeping diary to reflect on every now and then through out the day? .. Maybe a little bit more details to polish this practice of quadrants on another video? thanks

[@ajchanter]

Hi! You said something in a different video about a game that helps shift from quadrant 4 to quadrant 2. I could not find it, could you please refer me to the right video? Cheers! gray

[@LiquidfirePUA]

I'm having trouble with this video, somehow the sounds is very soft/non existant.

[@HeroicBrian]

LiquidfirePUA Hmmmm... Weird. Even with the volume all cranked up you can't hear?!
