I was just thinking about what I would consider urgent and important (e.g., My LMS is currently not assigning training to new hires) to what the POTUS is dealing with on a day-to-day basis. It helps me to put perspective on things when I get too busy or stressed. I think, lives aren't at stake here (my reputation may be which is important) - The situation I'm in is difficult right now, but it too will end soon and I'll be just fine. Big fan of Eisenhower Matrix - I like to combine it with GTD 4D's - Do, Defer, Delegate, Delete.
Some might appreciate interacting with this open Eisenhower Matrix web app:

Nice! For me there is nothing like a sheet of paper with four hand sketched boxes.
It is hard to fathom how different my idea of urgent and important is to Dwight's.
oooh - please say more.

Gotcha - thought you were challenging the entire idea when first reading your comment.
I don’t agree with your title but I do agree with the post.
We brought this point up today as we discussed this, Martin... and we agree.
When drowning, the title works.
If you're always drowning, you've got bigger issues.
So hopefully the title never works.
