I have a project which has a line activity for delivering trainings to community health workers. I have organized that activity with successful completion. I am required to submit the report activity in 3 months.
That means, I am not in a hurry of submitting the report in few days. I have 3 months ahead to write and submit the report. However, I cannot ignore submitting this report as it is a project performance indicator.
Very good examples! According to me:
time-consuming activities that depend on multiple people and variables. such as:
- the development of the project policy
- annual plan
- budget review, among others.
Design of action plans for example.

Important-but-not-urgent tasks are often tasks that contribute to long-term goals, personal development, or overall well-being.
Exercise and Fitness
Learning and Skill Development
Personal Projects, hobbies, side projects, or creative endeavors that bring fulfillment but might not have immediate external deadlines
My challenge is procrastination or having to postpone something because of urgent tasks or not having the right mindset/energy level to complete themHere are strategies to overcome these challenges:
Time Blocking
Priority Setting
Break Down Tasks
Set Short-Term Goals
Create Accountability
Use Reminders and Tools
Reflect on Consequences
Importants but not urgent tasks
1 - Preparation of IMO (International Medical Order).2 - Complete inventory of the pharmacy stock.
3- Evaluation of supervised staff.
4- Monthly SITREP.
The preparation of IMO is the most difficult to get done because it involve so many stakeholders as well as many tasks .
The strategy is to set a chronogram of tasks, a deadline to complete every task then regularly share a reminder of this.
