Eisenhower Matrix Prioritization

Categorize tasks by urgency and importance to clarify what to do, schedule, delegate, or eliminate.

Instructions

Take the list of tasks provided and sort them into the four quadrants. Be honest about what's truly important (moves you toward goals) versus just urgent (feels pressing but may not matter).

Output Format

Context What role/area are we prioritizing for? What's the time horizon?

The Matrix

                    URGENT              NOT URGENT
              ┌─────────────────┬─────────────────┐
   IMPORTANT  │    Q1: DO       │   Q2: SCHEDULE  │
              │                 │                 │
              ├─────────────────┼─────────────────┤
NOT IMPORTANT │   Q3: DELEGATE  │   Q4: ELIMINATE │
              │                 │                 │
              └─────────────────┴─────────────────┘

Q1: DO (Urgent + Important)

Handle these immediately—real deadlines, crises, problems

Task	Why Urgent?	Why Important?	Do By
[task]	[urgency]	[importance]	[when]

Q2: SCHEDULE (Not Urgent + Important)

Block time for these—they don't scream but they matter most
