The graph is an excellent tool to help organise your time and priorities. I the one thing people can do to make their day more effective is to write tasks down. If you write task down and priorities them you stand a good chance of clearing them off your desk.

Really summed up what I was trying to communicate to my team members for long time. I will put this chart on everyone’s desktop to look at it every day

I was asked to develop something on “how to evaluate an action plan” and vola! almost the same matrix you conjured up! Perhaps another application here.
Under Lo-Poor – I added commitment, motivation and lazy
Under Hi-Hi I added Plan the Work, Work the Plan, which then leads to how to evaluate an action plan. Nothing new, just the classics!

Great little diagram. It inspired me to put more effort into my work, I think I’m in the mediocrity square.

While I can’t directly measure the amount of effort put in, basically all I know is that I have to keep on working. Well, at least I stand a chance rather than waiting for a windfall.

I’m definitely in the mediocrity part right now. Need to move around in that block a little bit! Great graph to follow.

Sometimes a feel people are busy but never take the time to look inward at them self. If you organize your time and prioritize your tasks then you can achieve more with your day. The graph is a great tool to achieving this…

Good graph. Simple and feel that with SEO I wil b spending more time in the “no pain no gain” cateory. Checked out GTDagenda.com as suggested above by Dan. Very Good for helping prioritize.
