Prioritize your tasks by urgency and importance. This matrix helps you focus on what truly matters and eliminate time-wasting activities. Based on the Eisenhower Decision Matrix, a proven productivity framework.
Urgent & Important
Important but Not Urgent
Urgent but Not Important
Not Urgent & Not Important
Tasks that are both urgent and important. Handle these immediately.
Important tasks that aren't urgent. Plan time to work on these.
Urgent but not important tasks. Delegate to others when possible.
Tasks that are neither urgent nor important. Consider removing these.
Instead of reacting to whatever looks urgent, the matrix helps you decide deliberately what deserves your time — and what should be delegated or dropped.
Separate truly important work from low‑value tasks that only feel urgent.
Make sure high‑impact, non‑urgent work gets real time on the calendar instead of always slipping.
Quickly spot tasks that others can handle so your team can share the load.
