the Eisenhower Matrix

or The Time Management Matrix, The Eisenhower Box, The Eisenhower Method, and The Urgent-Important Matrix.

Are you always busy and don’t know what to do first?
Too much on your plate? Wanna be more productive ?

Easy

  Urgent Not Urgent
Important Do it now Schedule it
Not Important Delegate it Delete it

If you don’t use the matrix, you are more likely to prioritize tasks with a deadline over tasks without one regardless of their long-term payoffs (the “Mere-Urgency Effect”).

So be wise, take the red pill :)
