Urgency and importance are not the same.
If what you're doing isn't working, but it's a good idea, you may be violating the first principle of, "First things first."
First things are those which are most important (meaningful, relative to your desired outcomes), not necessarily those which are most urgent. Urgency and importance are distinct.
Attending to the most important things first, on a regular basis, reduces the number of urgent things that need your attention.
