I think it dovetails with this concept: 80% of your effectiveness comes from making sure that you spend most of your time in activities that are important, but not necessarily urgent. This means that you are spending the bulk of your time communicating and building trust in key relationships; planning and goal setting; and sorting through your to do list to make sure that you are not wasting your time on the least important activities, no matter how 'fun' or 'urgent' they may seem.
