Maslow #1
This is the bottom level of the pyramid, including air, water, and food.
Physiological Needs
Paying for a monthly rent or a simple meal at the school canteen falls under this need.
Physiological Need
This is the name of Quadrant 1, where tasks are both Urgent and Important.
Do It Now!
A "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" coupon that expires in 5 minutes for a snack you don't actually need belongs in this quadrant
Urgent but Not Important
This middle level is where we seek friendships, family, and a sense of belonging.
Love and Belonging Needs
Buying a luxury designer bag specifically to show off your wealth and gain respect from others satisfies this level.
Esteem Needs
This quadrant is for things that are Important but NOT Urgent; the rule for this box is to do this.
Schedule
Investing 500 Baht a month into a long-term retirement fund or university savings belongs here.
Important but Not Urgent
The hierarchy is mainly divided into 2 types.
D_____ Needs and G____ Needs
Deficiency Needs and Growth Needs
Paying for health insurance or putting money into an emergency "rainy day" fund satisfies this level.
Safety Needs
This is what you should do with tasks in "Not Urgent and Not Important."
Eliminate (or Delete)
A phone call from a friend asking for homework help while you are currently in the middle of a final exam study session is often found here.
Urgent but Not Important
According to Maslow, you usually cannot focus on "Esteem" until these two lower levels are met
Physiological and Safety Needs
Using your savings to pay for a hobby like painting or learning a new language for personal joy (not for a job) is an example of this.
Self-Actualization
These are the two labels (the X and Y axes) used to measure every task in the matrix.
Urgency and Importance
If you spend all your time in Quadrant 1, you will eventually experience this "B____", leading to high stress.
Burnout
This highest level represents being motivated by values that go beyond the personal self
Self-Transcendence Needs
Starting to appreciate arts and search for beauty, balance, form or creativity is an example of this.
Aesthetic Needs
This is the rule for "Urgent but Not Important."
