Covey Quadrants

Covey’s Quadrants, part of Stephen Covey’s time management framework, categorize tasks based on urgency and importance. Quadrant I includes urgent and important tasks, like crises or deadlines. Quadrant II covers tasks that are important but not urgent, such as planning or relationship-building, promoting long-term success. Quadrant III involves urgent but less important tasks, often interruptions or distractions. Quadrant IV contains neither urgent nor important activities, like excessive leisure or time-wasting. Focusing on Quadrant II helps prevent crises and enhances effectiveness, fostering proactive, balanced living and work habits.
