Quadrant B is referred to by Steven Covey as the ‘quadrant of quality’ as it is
here, he says, that we do our long term planning, anticipate and prevent
problems, empower others, broaden our minds and increase our skills through
reading and research, prepare for important meetings and presentations or
invest in relationships through deep, honest listening. Spending more time in
this quadrant increases our ability to do. Neglecting this quadrant feeds
Quadrant A; creating stress, burnout and more crises for the person
consumed by it.
Quadrant C is where we spend much of our time meeting the expectations of
others sincerely believing that we are in Quadrant A!
Quadrant D is the ‘quadrant of waste’ as it is not necessarily productive, but
rather a place to escape. Habitually watching mindless TV shows or gathering
around the kettle to gossip and exchange casual banter and gossip would
qualify as time wasters and belong in Quadrant D.
