School can feel like a constant rush — assignments, exams, club meetings, and social events all competing for your attention.

But not everything that feels urgent is actually important. Not everything with an impending deadline has high value in your life.

Urgent tasks demand immediate attention (like a paper due tomorrow).
Important tasks move you closer to your long-term goals (like prepping for next week’s exam or planning your study schedule).

Learning to tell the difference can save you stress, help you focus, and allow you to get more done with less panic.

Do you know the difference?
