Frequently Asked Questions
The Eisenhower Matrix, named after President Dwight D. Eisenhower, is a productivity framework that helps you prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. It divides tasks into four quadrants: Do First (urgent and important), Schedule (important but not urgent), Delegate (urgent but not important), and Eliminate (neither urgent nor important). This helps you focus on what truly matters.
Urgent tasks require immediate attention with consequences for delay (deadlines, crises). Important tasks contribute to long-term goals and values (health, career growth, relationships). A task can be both, one, or neither. Most people spend too much time on urgent-but-unimportant tasks.
Tasks that are neither urgent nor important - time wasters like excessive social media, unnecessary meetings, or busywork. Identifying these helps you reclaim time for important work.
Review daily or weekly depending on your work. A Friday review to plan next week works well. The matrix helps with both daily to-do lists and longer-term planning.
