Everyday, for 10 days, document every hour of your waking day.
For every hour, write down the task you accomplished (the majority task, if you did multiple tasks) and classify them as urgent and important
The definition of urgent and important is yours - it is personal.
As you fill up the day, the matrix on the right hand side will automatically fill up
At the end of the day, write down if you felt happy with your day or not.
Optionally, share why do you feel that way?
The sample sheet will show you how it works
At the end of 10 days, the aim is to build a hypothesis
WHAT MIX OF URGENT AND IMPORTANT LEADS TO FAVORABLE OUTCOMES?
