In today's fast-paced world, many people find they have trouble feeling grounded and on top of things. Work is often filled with a sense of urgency leading to stress, fatigue, and even burn-out. Get some help prioritizing, by taking the Urgency Index test.

Used by Robert Gass in his Art of Leadership training at Hollyhock, this tool may help you find the right balance between what needs to be done now, and what can be reassigned or completed at a later date.

The Urgency Index test helps you determine the difference between things that are urgent and things that are important. And contrary to popular belief, you should not necessarily do the urgent things first. Why not? Because you could spend your whole life doing the urgent things (which are usually just self-imposed or putting out fires) without doing the important things.
