Yes, it is - because naked lights are dangerous in the bathroom. Is it urgent? I don't think so. Looks like Q2 activity. But good rest is also regarded as Q2 activity and Sunday looks like the most appropriate day for taking some rest. So here we have two Q2 activities and neither one is really more urgent than the other one. So it's up to you :-) Actually it'd be good to throw some recreational activities in the mix - like biking in the nearby park or something... aka sharpening the saw :-D No, it’s not that complicated :-) Let’s see:

However it's quite complicated when it comes to real life decisions (not theoretical or something). For example, what should be done first: to mantle the new bathroom lights or to read an entertaining article from the Sunday newspaper? I believe, I'm going to spend the morning in a very laid back manner, although it is neither important nor urgent (Q4, hah :)). Furthermore, I am positive that THIS is the right decision. It might sound as if I am wasting time... I don't give a damn. Do you? It sounds very logical… However it’s quite complicated when it comes to real life decisions (not theoretical or something).
