I'm in Alanon and have always really loved the saying "anything important isn't urgent and anything urgent isn't important" however sometimes I really feel led to do something RIGHT THEN. No audible voice, just can't tell if it's the Lord speaking or some kind of anxiety. Anyone have wisdom on this?

Is that saying from AA? I haven’t heard that but I disagree 😄 Important things can be urgent and urgent things can be important. If the point is just to get you to think through something and not act on impulse then that’s a good goal, but I’d prefer to articulate that for myself. If you haven’t seen this, this is a helpful matrix:

OP missed 2 out of the 4 quadrants but the sentiment rings true for me.

While I agree with the matrix, there is a high degree of workaholic bias in how it is explained across the shared visuals. On my deathbed the things that will matter to me most will be in the important non-urgent quadrant. The trickiest past is that there is often not a fast negative feedback loop for neglecting the top right quadrant. It hits you all at once decades later.
