Self-Management Skills for Success

The document discusses time management techniques, specifically how to classify tasks as important vs urgent and how to prioritize one's time. It introduces the Eisenhower Matrix, which categorizes tasks into important and urgent vs important but not urgent vs unimportant and urgent vs unimportant and not urgent. The key message is that people are most successful spending time on tasks that are important but not urgent, as these allow for high quality work and are most aligned with one's goals. Spending too much time in the urgent/important or unimportant/urgent quadrants can lead to stress.
