Understanding the Eisenhower Matrix

Master productivity by categorizing tasks based on their importance and urgency

Quadrant 1: DO FIRST

Tasks that are both important and urgent. These require immediate attention and should be done first. Examples: emergencies, critical deadlines, crisis situations.

Quadrant 2: SCHEDULE

Important but not urgent tasks. Schedule these for later. This is where you should spend most of your time. Examples: planning, skill development, exercise, relationships.

Quadrant 3: DELEGATE

Urgent but not important tasks. Delegate these if possible. They seem important but don't contribute to your long-term goals. Examples: some emails, phone calls, interruptions.

Quadrant 4: DELETE

Neither important nor urgent. Eliminate these time-wasters. They provide little to no value. Examples: excessive social media, mindless browsing, trivial activities.
