Ever notice that the urgent tends to get done -- independent of whether or not the activity is actually important? Important, on the other hand, gets kicked to the side...for the noisier more urgent matters.
We're not good at figuring out what is important for us in the long term.
Controlling blood sugar? Important.
Eating at another fast food restaurant because you're hungry right now? Urgent.
Getting another set of stairs in? Important.
Getting to another meeting on time? Urgent.
Learning to distinguish emotional eating from physical hunger? Important.
Enjoying your meal because you had a stressful day? Urgent.
We always get our true priorities accomplished. Is what you did yesterday the important stuff -- or the urgent???
