Making It Better Now

Four Quadrants offer Personal and Professional Satisfaction

Wouldn’t you love to be more effective with your time? What if I could help you maximize your day and the time you spend doing certain things. The Four Quadrants have been a huge part of my success, both personally and professionally. Using the Four Quadrants is a way of organizing thoughts and teaches how to separate our priorities, placing them in our “Urgent” box, or “Important” box. Ever notice that we ail in the things we say we don’t have time for, can’t commit to, and often have the most problems following through. The Four Quadrants have been recognized as a higher-level of understanding in how to become more effective with our time in relationships, in business and in life.

We all know the daily grind can be overwhelming by the number of priorities we have. Between our home, job, children, pets, and marriage, all of the above seem to effortlessly fall into the “Urgent” box. But are they really “Urgent?”

I’m sure you know the familiar saying, “I can’t be all things to all people…” – and you can’t, because every time you try you’ll end up feeling drained, unsatisfied and unsuccessful.

I have found a great sense of professional and personal satisfaction through the use of Quadrants. My goal in using them is to outline my priorities and in the order I need them to happen. Quadrants have helped release the overwhelming parts of my everyday life. There are no more feelings of inundated stress, pressure, or unrealistic expectations. Think about it – all the unnecessary stress and overload we place on ourselves, and for what? Only 50% of the things I used to have on my “list” actually needed to get done, the remaining 50% was nonsense – busy work that didn’t create any positive long term impact. Here’s how Quadrants work:

Guarding my time wisely, I begin every day with Quadrant 1. When this has been successfully completed I move on to Quadrant 2, then Quadrant 3, and finishing with Quadrant 4. Organizing my day helps me validate all I accomplish, knowing it was meaningful and impactful.

This is an example of Quadrants for everyday life – Keep in mind, the items listed here should help you reach your life goals.

Fill in these 4 Quadrants and you will be amazed by what you list. Even for myself – I can’t say I complete every Quadrant, every day. What I can say is with the help of Quadrants I always feel I gave 100% and accomplished all I could. And bottom line, this is what matters most. I have great fulfillment every day in knowing I have given “my all!” I want the same feeling of empowerment for you! Make the choice to give your life, your family, your business, and your future – 100%.
