Few of us realize how powerfully urgency affects our choices. The phone rings.
The baby cries. Someone knocks at the door. A deadline approaches.
Whether you're operating from a paradigm of urgency or one of importance has a
profound effect on the results you're getting in your life. Some people get so
used to the adrenaline rush of handling crises that they become dependant on
it for a sense of excitement and energy. When life is urgent, we feel
validated, useful. But it can also be a good excuse for not dealing with the
first things in our lives.
