Can you recommend an urgent care clinic open on nights or weekends in Seattle? Preferably one somewhere near Fremont that is a Uniform Medical Plan provider. I have no current need—this is for future reference.

Over and over again I am being told I need to distinguish between the important vs. the urgent. But nobody gives you any specific strategies on just how to go about doing that. In the morning everything looks urgent and everything looks important. I'm being told that tasks like: Balance the checkbook - Change the oil - Return the overdue library book - Making collection calls, etc. are all unimportant tasks and should be pushed aside for the Important tasks, like: Researching that new business idea, developing my subordinates, personal development. Yet when ever I spend time with the important tasks, the unimportant task terrorize my mental energy and sap any enthusiasm I have for engaging in important tasks. I often give to the impulse to get at some urgent but not important tasks and piss away another day. Only to get up and repeat the process the very next day. I'd be interested in hearing about strategies, systems or products that you use to break yourself out of this loop.
