Then, based on this analogy, we must prioritise the tasks that are time-demanding (Urgent) and deemed necessary (Important). Right?.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, many of our day-to-day chores don\u2019t fall into this ideal zone. And here\u2019s the interesting part: even when a task is not important at all, the moment it looks crucial, our brain jumps to it. This is known as the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mere urgency effect,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where we tend to choose tasks simply because they appear more urgent and important, rather than because they truly matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mere Urgency Effect<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is, in a way, your brain playing a prank on you\u2014making tiny, unnecessary tasks look super important just because they yell \u2018Do me now!\u2019 It\u2019s your mind falling for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urgency Drama<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So how to not fall for this trick? One way is to visualise using the Eisenhower matrix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s get handsy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List out all the tasks you have to do in a to-do list. Assuming you have a list of tasks\u2014so do I:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A maths test tomorrow<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A science project submission next week<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A school survey pops up, saying it closes in 5 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notifications keep popping up from the school group chat (I need to check!)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now here comes the fun part, sorting them into the Eisenhower Matrix.
