You know what happens when everything is important, right?

kingkawn | karma 3475 | avg karma 1.85 · | 2019-05-06 16:04:22

Everything matters.

Can't more than one thing be important at any one time?

bryanrasmussen | karma 35788 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2023-10-13 04:35:38

I can't help but think that anything that is urgent but only a little important is in fact really important, because things that are a little important need to be done, and the urgent thing must be done now.

Urgent and a little important must be done now.

Urgent and unimportant must be dropped and it is a waste of time in endless meetings to even discuss it.

Sounds important. What does it all mean?

iampims | karma 1377 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2018-10-22 15:28:37+00:00

Yes. These things matter.

smegsicle | karma 971 | avg karma 0.97 · | 2022-06-22 15:05:07

as with most important things

stevofolife | karma 222 | avg karma 1.07 · | 2021-02-26 01:28:05

Of course, so important.

j0hnyl | karma 684 | avg karma 1.68 · | 2024-06-17 21:55:53

You could say that about anything that is critical.

Indeed; if everything is special/important/priority/good, then nothing is special/important/priority/good. Words have meaning dually by the set of things they name and the set of things they don't.

dang | karma 18142 | avg karma 0.25 · | 2018-10-25 08:59:31+00:00

Yes, and things of importance happen in any of them.

testawi7676 | karma -9 | avg karma -1.29 · | 2020-10-28 06:03:50

important?

toast0 | karma 25207 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2023-10-10 09:32:05

Sure, but what if it's urgent but only a little important.

IIAOPSW | karma 7223 | avg karma 3.64 · | 2016-08-18 08:39:58+00:00

Ah the classic "everything is important to someones workflow"

Important stuff.

jasonjmcghee | karma 2166 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2023-02-17 10:29:06

Yes - important

sizzle | karma 12406 | avg karma 2.93 · | 2018-10-25 17:52:42+00:00

Or !important; everywhere

StavrosK | karma 1 | avg karma 0.0 · | 2019-10-14 16:39:55+00:00

Yes, this is very important.

barrucadu | karma 130 | avg karma 1.81 · | 2024-02-06 20:43:23

It's possible to have two important things and yet for one to be more important than the other.

grvdrm | karma 320 | avg karma 0.91 · | 2023-05-23 14:40:03

Absolutely. It is the thing that actually matters.
