Another alternative is to delegate the work to others. Important shouldn't mean you alone should do it. But when you delegate important work, make sure the person receiving the work understands its importance. @Kenny

Pieter is correct.

My first job after leaving high school was based on 100% customer service and these days my to-do list is still prioritised around my customers. I never leave them hanging! Word of mouth is your best marketing tool so always look after your customers above and beyond the call of duty! Oh yeah - and when I write out a to-do list, I love crossing off each item - it really makes me feel like I've achieved a lot by the end of the day!

We all know that important is important but sometimes we 'make it temporarily unimportant' just because you want to check for ex. photo's of your latest shoot. I believe what Pieter says is correct, I also believe that you can read this article over from time to time to help you being consequent in the rule. actually I like the issue because we all deal with it and face it every day.

I guess it depends if you consider the fun things you do in your free time important or not, and the determines whether or not you have the "Non-urgent, non-important" category. I guess I consider experimenting and fun things kind of important, so maybe you are right. Haha, I am not sure. :)
