The Eisenhower Matrix / The Eisenhower box



Once you have your goals written in a SMART way, you should break them down into concrete and actionable tasks.

Then the tasks need to be prioritized.

This matrix recommends arranging tasks in one of the four quadrants:

• Urgent + Important (Do first)

• Not Urgent + Important (Schedule)

• Urgent + Not Important(Delegate)

• Not Important + Not Urgent (Eliminate)

You should tackle urgent and important tasks.

You have to spend most of your working time in this quadrant (urgent + important).
