Urgency refers to how soon things need to be done, and importance is how
much they matter regardless of time. For instance, developing new skills
is important, but doesn't need to be done this minute; drinking your
coffee before it goes cold is urgent, but not very important.
It's common to see tasks drawn on a matrix with urgency and importance
as axes. Time management often tries to emphasize the
important-but-not-urgent quadrant, which is easy to neglect in favour of
urgent-but-not-important.
