The Eisenhower Matrix
The Eisenhower Matrix is a productivity, prioritization, and time-management framework designed to help you prioritize a list of tasks or agenda items by first categorizing those items according to their urgency and importance.
The decision matrx is a version of the Eisenhower Matrix, which helps you distinguish between what’s important and what’s urgent, in a simple and easy to understand way.
It’s so simple you can draw it on a napkin, and once you get it, you get it.
While it won’t make the decisions for you, it will help you quickly identify which decisions you should focus on.
