Hi Debbie,

Thank you for your comment and your desire to help. That is not a typo. It’s taken from Steven Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People book. It’s on the quadrant of Urgent/Not Urgent and Important/Not Important. He contends too many people get stuck in Quadrant III, and I agree. I did amend the copy to make it clearer as I could see how it was confusing as written. Steven Covey Quadrant

We have spoke before so I thought you might like to correct a typo I found in this paragraph. I believe you mean “non-urgent” in the last sentence here: btw thank you for all the free stuff you send out and hope your business is doing well!

There is much more to running a successful art career than these three things, of course. But, these things are big rocks. As Stephen Covey would say, always put the big rocks in first. By that, he means to do first things first. That is work first on those things are both urgent and important. Don’t let the urgent, non-important tasks bog you down.
