Quadrant 2: The Prioritizer

- the results of living in Q2 are control of your life, balance, and high performance

Quadrant 3: The Yes-man

- say no to Q3 activities as they pull you away from more important ones.

Quadrant 4: The Slacker

- cut down on Q4, slacker activities and shift this time to Q2.
