Importance
- A value-based source of pressure.
- It can be internal (e.g. "I need to exercise every day for my physical health.") and/or external (e.g. "I need to make reservations for my trip or I won't be able to go.")
- An important task often has a high impact on the course of events in the person's life.
- e.g., the decision to adopt a pet, regular maintenance of a car or home, etc.
- Importance is often correlated with urgency, but the two are different.
- An urgent task may not be important, and vice versa.
- Important tasks can be made urgent through difficulties with EX0001 - Task Initiation
