Question

Sal is preparing for an upcoming career conference where he hopes to network with other hospitality managers. Contacts that he might make at the conference could potentially contribute to his long-term goals, but he is not interested in a career shift for at least another 5 years. If Sal were to classify preparing for this event in a Time Management Matrix, where would it likely fall?

Answer 1

Answer: Important and Not Urgent

Explanation:

The time Management Matrix prioritizes tasks based on a combination of the timeline to achieve the task and impact on achieving goals. The matrix divides tasks into four groups:

• Important and Urgent
• Important and Not Urgent
• Not Important and Urgent
• Not Important and Not Urgent

Because the career conference will provide Sal with contacts who could contribute to his career goals, it falls under the Important category but it is not urgent as he does not need this network of people for another five years.
