The Eisenhower Matrix is a tool to help you prioritize your tasks. It is based on the idea that you can divide your tasks into four categories:

  1. Urgent and important
  2. Important but not urgent
  3. Urgent but not important
  4. Neither urgent nor important
Urgent Not Urgent
Important 1. Do it now 2. Schedule a time to do it
Not Important 3. Delegate it 4. Eliminate it
