Eisenhower Matrix
Programme 1
‘Most things which are urgent are not important, and most things which are important are not urgent.’
Dwight D. Eisenhower
IMPORTANT & URGENT
CRISIS QUADRANT This is for anything that is pressing and important that you get done. These are for the items which must be dealt with immediately by you.
|
IMPORTANT & NON-URGENT
VALUE QUADRANT This is for the tasks that benefit you long term. By doing them, you will naturally improve how you run your business and life. The idea is to reduce the other quadrants by increasing this quadrant. |
NON- IMPORTANT & URGENT DISTRACTION QUADRANT This is for the tasks that are more distractions than anything else. Things that should be done immediately but are not vital or essential that you do them. The best thing to do with them is delegate them.
|
NON-IMPORTANT & NON-URGENT DISTRACTION QUADRANT This is for the tasks that are non essentials and are not necessary to get done immediately. In a perfect world, most of them would be done but the key is to focus on getting stuff done in the other quadrants first and only get to these if you have time. Or simply Drop them. |
