91: Urgency vs Emergency

Send us a text

Do you struggle to say no?  The desire to help comes from a good place. But sometimes, saying yes can lead to resentment or feeling taken for granted.

Learning to identify the difference between urgency & an emergency can help.

Here are three ways to tell the difference:

Urgency: It is time sensitive, but the consequences of not taking immediate action are mild.
Emergency: It is time sensitive and consequences of not taking immediate action are severe.

Urgency: The consequences of it not being addressed include some inconvenience.
Emergency: The consequences of it not being addressed include death or significant injury to self or others.

Urgency: The problem could have been prevented with proper planning.
Emergency: The problem could not have been prevented or planned for.
