Urgency Vs. Importance

Sitting there, by my bed, I couldn’t help but worry about what I might be missing on Facebook or another blog. But the reason I was there wasn’t to catch up on the internet, no, it was to catch up with Jesus, and quite frankly, I wasn’t doing the best job.

That’s when I remembered something I had read sometime prior. Urgency vs. importance.  I think it may have been in “The War of Art”.

Either way, here’s the point- what feels urgent isn’t the most important thing to do. The seemingly time-sensitive nature of some items(such as email, Facebook, etc) make them seem more important than they really are.

It’s up to us as individuals to fight the temptation every day.

I’m pretty convinced that staying on task instead of rushing to the next urgent thing is more fruitful in the long run.

I think it’s grooming a quieter heart, and that I am thankful for.
