Do What Matters Most
Part of 5/16

essing yourself and your current approach to your priorities. 
Before you can transform your approach to your priorities you need to get a good grasp on where you currently stand. How do you do this? One approach is to break down your daily activities into the “do what matters most” matrix. 
It divides your daily activities into four categories. One refers to activities that are both high-stress and high-priority another to activities that are low-stress and high-priority. And the two remaining categories represent activities that matter the least – stuff that’s either urgent and not important or – in the last category – not urgent and not important. 
For example if you wait a few days before an important business trip to make a booking sorting out flights and accommodation would become a category one activity. People who spend all their lives doing category one stuff may appreciate the adrenaline rush but they are also usually fire-fighting all the time – and that leads to burnout.
