emergency means "something that appears to require immediate attention."
An important is "something that is tied to your mission, values, priority, and achievement of a high target."

The time to do the second area can only be taken away from the third or fourth area.
That would mean saying "no."
The first and third will work, but the second will not. You have to be proactive to do it.
Urgent = wedging oneself in.
Measure and avoid interruptions → Pomodoro Technique.
