putting urgency over importance

Mark Batterson blogged yesterday about something that I really struggle with. I struggle with growing in several areas at once. We often let one thing prioritize over the rest. It’s true though that somethings do matter more, but we must both weigh and balance urgency and importance. We work on what matters at the moment, but we leave an importance aspect on the back burner. And I’m not talking just spiritually, but in all aspects of your life.

Figure out what matters now,
Figure out what is seriously lacking,

and tackle them both.
