The Eisenhower Method
Label each of your tasks as either:
Important or unimportant
and
Urgent or not urgent
- Important and urgent tasks get done immediately. Reserve some time each day for these, but if you find yourself always having several, re-evaluate what is causing so many.
- Important and not urgent tasks get scheduled to be done at a particular time. It's good to have scheduled time for routine tasks which often fall into this category.

- Not important and not urgent tasks should be deleted where possible.
